How can I increase the font size?

I don't see as well as I used to be able to see.  I can increase the font in Safari, Microsoft Office apps, etc.  but how can I boost the font size on the dock icon, help windows, and system information?  I sort of exected a 22 inch screen to have proportionately larger font size (or special options for the visually impaired.)

DUH to me.  Your answer was perfect!  I've only had my iMac set up for 2-3 days and I never figured I have the sorts of high resolution way beyond what my Dell laptop has.  Thank, Dansyacht.

    How can I increase the font size when I print out emails, it is printing tiny size?

    In the Print dialog window, click the small reveal-button to the right of the printer's name -
    The window will expand to show additional settings (similar to 'old' Page Setup) -
    Be sure "Scale:" is set to 100% and the 'Keep apparent font size' item is checked.

  • How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?

    How can we increase the font size in Adobe Bridge CC 2014?
    We use Windows 7 64bit computers and Dell High Density UltraSharp UP2414Q monitors with a resolution of 3840 x 2160.
    Other applications in Adobe CC 2014 work fine with this high resolution (Indesign, Photoshop) but I can't find where to adjust font size in Bridge.
    Right now menu items are hardly ledgible.

    Same problem.  Bridge is unusable with this micro font and no way to change it.
    I would call tech support but I don't feel like being on hold for two hours to talk to someone Adobe pays pennies a day in a loud call center who won't be able to help anyway. Fail.

    Paragraph breaks are good for readability. ;-)
    Have you noticed any difference between your MacBook and others at the Apple store? Wondering whether this is a configurable setting at the system level, i.e., DPI.
    You can default Firefox to a larger zoom level to avoid having to zoom every page. You'll still be able to adjust the size for individual sites as needed. It sounds as though you are aware of these add-ons:
    * Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    * NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    There are some discussions about changing coming in Firefox 22 (I think) to address higher density displays like the Retina display. So perhaps there will be a built-in setting to address this in the future.

  • After Firefox was updated, the font size on my screen was decreased for all applications. How can I increase the font size on my screen ??

    After the update, the next screen showed all the letters in smaller font, with fewer pixels. All the screens are like that now and I found nothing in the Firefox help contents. This is a problem because I have vision difficulty. So, how can I increase the font size to what it was before? My screen is about 20 inches wide.
    Also, any chance I can change all the font to Arial instead of Times New Roman?

    Thanks -- that does help!

  • How can I increase the font size of just one paragraph?

    I am using Dreamweaver CS4. I want to increase the font size and style of just one paragraph, but the "page properties" changes the font size for the whole page. In this regard: how can I increase the font size (and style) for just one word. Thank you, Mr. Monroe

    How do I get to “CSS Properties”? Do I click on Window > CSS Styles?
    When I click on Window > CSS Styles, I do not see the text “Custom Class.”
    I tried inserting (manually) the HTML code you suggested for the paragraph I want to change and nothing happened. I tried [<span class=”16px”>text came in here</span)]
    I read in a tutorial that after you create a CSS style sheet, all you have to do is select the text you want to apply it to and then attach the style sheet to that text. I can imagine, however, that there are some special steps that one has to perform in order to do this.
    Thanks for your help.

    how can i increase the font size on Safari and email so my mother who is legally blind in left eye, right eye 50% vision.  r there any apple product specifically for the blind?

    From the Safari menu bar click View > Zoom In  or press Command + on the keyboard to increase the size of the page.
    If that doesn't help, open System Preferences > Accessibilty > Settings then select Zoom on the left.
    You can also increase the resolution on the dislplay. System Preferences > Displays > Display > Scaled
    You can also get help by posting in the Apple Support Communities > Vision forum here.

    Web sites generally remember your browser by a cookie they set.
    If you have changed your cookie settings (for example, by clearing them using Clear Private Data when you close the browser) or installed new third party software (security suite, system cleaner, etc.), you might be clearing the site's cookie.
    In some cases, it's possible that cookies can become corrupted. To clear the site's cookies, when viewing the site:
    "right-click" (Mac equivalent!) and choose View Page Info > Security > "View Cookies"

    (2) Remember font size setting
    Are you using a feature of your email site to increase the font? If the site can't remember that for you, then there might be an indirect solution (a hack) to fix it. Which webmail site is it? There might be a userscript available.
    If you mean Firefox's zoom setting, then Firefox should remember that between visits.

  • How can I increase the font size in the Comment pane?

    In the commenting preferences, I can specify different fonts and font sizes. However, it seems like those settings only affect the text that appears in the popups. How can I increase the size of the font in the Comment pane itself? It is so tiny, it's hard to read. I use Acrobat's Comment pane features extensively to reply to my reviewers' comments, and increasing the font size would help reduce eye strain.

    Unfortunately you can't but starting in Acrobat XI, you can at least undock the Comment List and expand the window.

  • How can I increase the font size for safari?

    Does anyone know how I can increase the overall font size when in Safari?  I recently purchased a 21.5" iMac and while the screen is brilliant, the font size is very small when I'm using Safari.  Also, the web page is about a 1/3rd of the size of the screen.  Would anyone know how to make it such that a web page is across the full screen?  Otherwise, what's the point of such a big screen?
    Thanks!!

    To get full screen view, look down at right hand corner of page.
    You will see hash marks at a 45 degree angle in the corner.
    Set pointer on it, and grab out to full edge of screen.
    This works for all Apps including images.
    I do this as default, being I sit about 5-6 feet from the screen.
    Then use Pinch- Out to expand the page within the Browser.
    Pinch-Out works for all Images loaded on the screen as well.
    *You may know this already, grab browser window at the top edge,
    and move it near the left edge of screen first.
    I'll throw in a handy viewing tip of items saved on the desk top,
    or within the Finder so that you don't actually have to launch the item.
    Simply highlite it, then hit Space Bar.
    This is part of Quick View,,, The Eye Ball Icon in header of viewing Finder does the same thing.
    This works for all video files as well for a Quick View, w/o running huge ram loads.
    Hit Space again to turn it off , Quick View.
    You can leave it on if browsing stack of files, then arrow down or up for those views.
    Cheers
