Tip of the Month: Zoom keys in your internet browser

The Zoom in capability of modern web browsers is often overlooked by users. When you are on a site and want to zoom in to make a portion larger, just press the CTRL + key to zoom in and the CTRL – key to zoom back out. If you Zoom way out, you can see the web pages layout without having to scroll.

This is very helpful when you are projecting the image onto a screen. Imagine you are in a meeting and showing some info from a web site. Your could Zoom in to one area to focus on it!

This works in Microsoft IE and FireFox. Look in the View menu for more options. FireFox can reset with CTRL 0

Here are 3 partial screen shots; Normal, Zoomed In, and Zoomed Out.
