Internet Explorer 9: Change text size

When using Internet Explorer 9, there are three ways you can change how big text will look on the screen.

1. Magnify page with keyboard short cuts

With most websites you should be able to magnify everything that is on the screen with the keyboard.

• Use Ctrl and ‘+’ (plus) sign to make things bigger.
• Use Ctrl and ‘-‘ (minus) sign to make things smaller.

2. Zoom (magnify) using “View” menu

The Internet Explorer 9 browser has a zoom control that allows you to easily increase the size of the content of a web page up to 400%.

Step 1: Click on the “View” (or “Page”) item in the main menu bar. Or press “ALT + P” to open the menu.

Step 2: Go to “Zoom” and select the amount of magnification you want

3. Making text bigger using “View” menu

The Internet Explorer 9 browser has a control that allows you to easily increase text size.

Step 1: Click on the “View” (or “Page”) item in the main menu bar. Or press “ALT + P” to open the menu.

Step 2: Go to “Text size” and select the size you want

NOTE: The text size tool does not work on all sites. If the text size doesn’t increase, use Zoom (see above).
