1) Click on "Tools" on the Internet Explorer Menu Bar; then

2) on "Internet Options"; then

3) on Accessibility (at bottom of General Tab); then

4) select whichever of the three options that might want to try;

5) & 6) then click on [ OK ] to finalize your selections.

Don't forget how you have made these changes, in case you want to come back to make a different selection or to restore the original settings.

 

        If you have a problem with text running off the right side of your screen and forcing you to scroll back and forth sideways to see the entire width of the lines, then this is the result of the resolution option of your computer "Display" being set too low.  To correct this problem permanently on a Windows based PC (assuming that it is your computer), first be sure that this window is maximized. Then, use the measuring bars below to determine what your current Display resolution is :

If this text reaches the Right edge of your Computer's Screen, - >
then your screen's resolution has been set 1280 wide by 1024 high
( which is recommended, if you have a 19 inch or larger monitor.)
When you select a high resolution setting, the size of the fonts can look very small, so may want to
select "large font" in the "Font size" window on the "Appearance" tab of the Display properties.

If this text reaches the Right edge of your Computer's Screen, - >
then your screen's resolution has been set to 1024 wide by 768 high.
( which is recommended, if you have a 15 to 17 inch monitor.)
(the "average" setting for which many web masters design their sites.)

If this text reaches the Right edge of your Computer's Screen, - >
then your screen's resolution has been set to 800 wide by 600 high
( which is recommended, if you have a 13 inch monitor
or if you have a vision problem.)

        If you are a Windows user-- and this is YOUR Computer--, you can check and remedy this by going to the Control Panel / Display / Settings -- which yields a screen like this :

Screen Shot

        Ideally, the pointer under "Desktop Area" should be at least "800 by 600 " or "1024 by 768" (pixels).   Make a note of what your settings are before changing them, just in case you later want to go back to them.  Then, use your mouse to move the pointer to the right, one tick mark or more.   You might also want to select "Large Fonts" under "Font Size".  Then click on [Apply] and [OK] and, if so directed, reboot your computer.
        Most people much prefer the larger "picture window" which this change produces.
