Opera

Unlike in Internet Explorer and Netscape Navigator, Opera can increase the size of images as well as text.

You can quickly increase or decrease the size of both text and graphics using the numberpad + and - keys. Each press will increase or decrease the size by 10%. However these changes will not be remembered next time you open Opera.

Follow these steps to increase or decrease the size of the text permanently:

• Open the File menu with the mouse or by pressing Alt+F
  
  
• Select the Preferences option with the mouse or by pressing F
  
  
• Select Page Style from the list with the mouse or by using the down arrow key
  
  
• Select the Default Zoom of your choice with the mouse or by pressing Alt + Z and using the up and down arrows
  
  
• Select the OK button with the mouse or by pressing Enter to return to Opera
