On a Windows computer –

• Hold down the Ctrl key and press the + (plus) key. Every time you press the + (plus) key the font will enlarge more.
• To reduce the font size, hold down the Ctrl key and press the – (minus) key. Every time you press the – (minus) key the font will decrease more.

On a Mac computer –

• Hold down the Command key and press the + (plus) key. Every time you press the + (plus) key the font will enlarge more.
