Thanks to today's "Times" for this one:. .. .If you have a wheel mouse, hold down Ctrl and roll the wheel. Text size increases and decreases.. .. .Neat, and new to me.

Good one, Mr Signal - hard to keep to "one click at a time" on my mouse though - hopeless! <img border="0" title="" alt="[Frown]" src="frown.gif" />

Suppose we better tell everyone what happens with the "Shift" + Wheel,. .. ."Shift" + Push wheel forward, same as pressing "FORWARD" button in IE. .. ."Shift" + Push wheel backwards, same as pressing "Back" button in IE.. .. .One click of wheel mouse is one page (backwards or forwards), very easy to go back a long, long way if you've been on the net for a while.. .. .DT
Ah, one of the reasons I used some CSS on my website, I don't want someone to be able to resize with the wheel.
</font><blockquote><font size="1" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">quote:</font><hr /><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">. .Ah, one of the reasons I used some CSS on my website, I don't want someone to be able to resize with the wheel. . .</font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial, Helvetica">...or use Netscape? <img border="0" title="" alt="[Wink]" src="wink.gif" />
Actually, my site should come up in NC ok, just cant size it. Depends upon version.
Here is a good one. If you use IE4/5/6 then you can type in a name on the address bar then press Ctrl/Alt and Enter together and this will add <a href="http://www." target="_blank">http://www.</a> <name you just typed in>com...
