Hey Grady, not sure if this will help but worth a try perhaps. Assuming you are using XP of course.

Click Start/All programs/Accessories/Accessibility/Magnifier

This brought up a 1 inch strip across the top of my screen magnifying what was under the cursor. There is a small drop down menu to adjust for personal taste, my size was set at 2 which you might find is the answer. You exit the utility by clicking the 'Exit' on the drop down menu.

Tnx Owbist. I found what you wrote of, but That is of a Temporary nature. I think it's somewhere in the font choices I have made. Tnx agn for the reply. Grady

it would depend on which email client you are using and you did not mention what email you are using.

I would look in settings and preferences if you have those options.

In my hotmail I do not think there is a way to change the size of that list of to recipients.

However there is a wonderful extension for the firefox browser that will increase the font sizes on the page with just one push of a button. If you use firefox you want to add the extensions called Text Size toolbar. It has been a lifesaver for me and my poor old eyes. I use it almost daily on some of the sites that have such small print. Once you have it you will not be able to live with out it.

If you are interested in getting firefox browser if you do not have it and/or adding the text size toolbar I will be happy to help you with instructions just let me know.

Tnx. raven cajun, Iuse OE6 and have 3-4 browsers installed and which firefox is one of them. I will eventually stumble on the answer if I don't click in a crash first. tnx. agn. Grady

Have you tried holding down the Ctrl key while turning the scroll wheel on your mouse (if there is one on your mouse)? Also holding down the Ctrl key and pressing the + (plus key on the numeric pad) will do the same thing.

I am so sorry you had indeed said that you were using OE6 in your original post! SEE I told you my poor old eyes need help too LOL I completely missed that.

Well if you are using OE6 then the browser add on would not help there. But it does work wonderfully if you use firefox for viewing webpages. I come across some that have such small text if I did not have that text size toolbar I would have to give up.

I have the link here for that add-on for firefox if anyone wants it. You will have to drag the icon onto your toolbar from View>toolbars>customize if you want the click on icon on firefox.

Here is a link that might be useful: text size toolbar

Ravencajun, I didn't know about that add-on. I should check out FF more often.

That text size change is a big help. I just wish it worked on those tiny little message boxes everywhere.

Thanks.

Sue
