    Default Enlarge fonts on web sites & windows mail?

    I just loaded Chrome and am impressed with the speed feature. However, many of the sites come up with tiny fonts. My Windows mail used to have a box with which I could easily enlarge the fonts of any received message.

    I loaded the Auto Zoom option but it doesn't seem to do anything..when set at either 125 % or 150%.

    No doubt it is me...a user error..but?? What are my options in Chrome? Do I have to change some other setting in my other programs? Speed is great..but reading the results is more important for these old eyes.

    Hmmm...it seems that I have also now lost my ability to use Iespell using just a right click. What else??

    thanks Rich

    Suddenly, the expanded view device started working?? I can enlarge the various web pages by clicking on the magnifier. That is a good thing!

    I still am missing the ability to increase the font sizes of my received emails..

    I also don't have a "real" spell checker that works when I create a message. Whatever spell checker system that is presently operative...just underlines mis-spelled words..but. doesn't suggest any substitutions. Obviously, I can get by with that arrangement.... but it is a step backwards.

    I imagine that Google/Chrome has some solutions..but..I don't even know what to call them. Any additional help or direction appreciated. thanks, Rich

    Welcome to ChromePlugins

    have you tried Ctrl & + ?

    Yes I have. --Control + has NO effect on Windows mail fonts. It does work on various web pages, but the Zoom/Expanded view is now working on those pages.

    Surely there must be a way to enlarge messages???

    And the "spell checker" is only moderately helpful. I know how to spell well enough, but my typing leaves a bit to be desired. Thanks for the suggestion, though. regards, Rich

    I figured out the "suggestions" part of the spell-checker...so..now that issue is also resolved. Now, if I can just find a way to enlarge the email fonts. Is there another reader that will allow me to do that? thanks rich
