Re: Read a post in a large font

Hi alex
Try this: Go to your news reader in WLM. On the menu bar select Tools, from
the drop down menu select Options... in the options dialog select the Read
tab. At the bottom of the read tab under Fonts click the Fonts... button to
change the fonts and default encoding used when reading messages. In the
Fonts dialog that opens next to Font size: there is a drop down button click
it and you can choose Larger or Largest. Select Largest, be sure to click
OK then Apply and OK. If the setting Largest is to larger then try Larger.
In the Options under Tools you also have a Compose tab where you can change
Font Settings for News messages you send. The default setting size is 9 pt.
Arial. I would only change that if I was having a problem reading the
messages that I was composing.

H Brown

I started composing this reply to you just a few minutes ago and now I see
where you have replied to your on message two time, be patient.

Re: Read a post in a large font

I'm sorry to say the only thing I read in your first post was "How do i read
a post in a large size font?". Because this is posted to the Windows Live
mail Newsgroup I assumed you were using WLM.

I would think you could change the font size for reading news post in
Outlook Express close to the same way as I described it for WLM in my
previous reply. Tools, Options, Read tab, Fonts. I have not used Outlook
Express for many years.

Re: Read a post in a large font

Hi Alex
You think you don't understand! Well that goes double for me because I don't
understand what it is that you don't understand. Compared to What? Please
explain what it is you you need to understand. Ill have a cup of uh,
uh.... coffee and see if I can clear my head a little before checking for
your reply......

and the display was in tiny print to the right side of my monitor and
later i got a big screen of the post.If i click twice with my mouse a large
screen and font appears. I have been on other forums and this forum is the
first time i have
had any problems.I am sure i have set-up "something" wrong
