I Just Discovered Something "New"

[Cecil Wallace]

This might belong on the Technology Board, but I thought it best to place it here.

I started using Firefox browser recently. Previously, I used Netscape almost exclusively.
Using the Netscape browser, I could change font size on the monitor by holding down the Control key and tapping the "+" or "-" keys.

Well, this morning, after reading the Kim Kommando Newsletter, I discovered that I can do the same thing by holding down the Control key and rolling the mouse scroll wheel.
I know that it works in Netscape and Firefox.

Perhaps the is old news for you, but I thought I'd share it anyway.

Here's the quote from Kim Kommando Newsletter:

"In Firefox, press the Ctrl key and use the mouse's scroll wheel. This trick also works on some sites in Internet Explorer. Additionally, it works in some programs, including Word and Excel."

I knew it worked for some IE sites, but I didn't know you could do it with Word & Excel. Thanks.

I also have started using Firefox and Thunderbird within the last month or so. Unlike most of you, I have not been impressed with it. I am having some problems loading some of the websites that we use for real estate, like the MLS. I don't know if there are some plug-ins that need to be loaded or what.

On Thunderbird, a pdf file that I had requested was blocked and deleted. I couldn't find anywhere where I could change the security settings. On Outlook, it would have come through.

Any ideas?

I use Firefox most of the time for my browsing. However there are some sites I use for business that don't work with it. Also when updating my church website, I must use IE.

Thanks,
I'm glad I'm not the only one!
