GeorgeSNo changes here. Check your screen resolution first.

PeterMichael which browser are you using? All browsers let you change the character size so you can fit more on a screen if you want to. In Google Chrome, in the address bar, there is a magnifying glass icon in the top right hand corner. It has either a + or a - sign inside it, showing either a magnification or a reduction in character size. Click on it and you will have the option to restore normal (100%) size.

carpetman1Michael Michalski---You are very welcome, and thank you, first time ever I could answer a computer question. BTW, you're not going to believe this. Hold down the Ctrl button and hit the - key will shrink the print.

Michael MichalskiAfter 47 years with IBM you'd think I would know this stuff. But, alas I've been retired for 6 years.....

You got the easy one, that is why.
Year ago one of my cousins asked me to recommend a computer shop
, so he can buy one.
He got his computer, got home and connected it.
"Saeed, your friend is a nut! He gave me the wrong keyboard"
"What do you mean? There is only one keyboard for computers"
"The letters are all scrambled! They are not in order like A B C D."
After I had laughed my head off - with him getting more annoyed by the minute, I said "these are QWERTY keyboards. Just like on a normal type writer. They arranged them this way so the keys do not cross into each other"
"But this a COMPUTER keyborad! The keys do not have a bloody change of crossing each other!!??"
"I know, but the computer does not know this. You just have to learn to use it as it is. There is no other way"

CrazyhorseconsultingHey, when I first started learning about computers, and I had never typed, I was having the damnedest time trying to figure out how to get that circle around the A.
Even the rocks don't last forever.

Bill/OregonWith Firefox and an iMac, it is command +.
There is hope, even when your brain tells you there isn’t.

Michael,
Do you happen to own a cat perchance?

All browsers should have a "Cat Mode" where all hotkey functions are disabled, and in fact you should only be able to get out of it by clicking a box with the cursor.
for every hour in front of the computer you should have 3 hours outside
