How can you avoid having to constantly icrease the size of the type?

Is there a permanent way of setting the minimum size type? Now, I have to continually keep clicking on VIEW or FORMAT to increase the size of the type to avoid eyestrain. I'm thinking of something that works with all, or most, websites and with MAIL. Also, I'd like to hear from someone who has tried the suggested fix. Once before, I was given instructions to do what I'm talking about, but it never worked.
iMac DV (Special Edition)   Mac OS X (10.3.9)  

I don't want to have to keep increasing the size of
the type everytime I go to a new screen or website.
The only way you can make a "universal" change in
text size is to change resolution, as noted in the
earlier reply. You do that in System Preferences
Displays panel.
You can make a change within individual applications
in the preferences for that application, usually
found at Menu -> [name of app] -> Preferences.
For example, in Safari, go to Preferences ->
Appearance to adjust the default fonts. Firefox has
similar preference options. Many web sites do not
use the default fonts. In those cases, I just use
the simple keyboard shortcut for increasing or
decreasing the font size.
Command (Apple) + Plus key (on numeric pad) to
increase
Command (Apple) + Minus key (on numeric pad) to
decrease
In Finder windows, you can right (control) click on
an empty spot and select show view options from the
contextual menu. There you can set the font size in
that window only, or in all windows.
Okay, I'm going to say "solved," even though there are some things I don't yet, and maybe never will, understand. Using your instructions, I fixed MAIL, SAFARI, and iTunes. FAVORITES, I don't quite understand, but I'll figure it out if it ever becomes important enough. I started to change to a cool-looking font, but the problem with that is that maybe the set you're sending to doesn't have it. Because of this, I settled on Ariel. I think that's on every computer. Thanks for you help.

    Hello Michael,
    Thank you for your response.  My operating system is XP.  When I try to open a pfd document I just get a series of letters and symbols in a dialog box.  The top of the box says "select the encoding that makes your document readable".  I can choose Windows, MS-Dos, or other (there is a long list to choose from).  None seem to make a difference.  If I save the document to my desk top I can right click on it and choose an option "Open with  AdobeReader 9" and it opens fine.
    Thank you,

  • How can I avoid automatical quantity confirmation of the items?

    At our case, production is done on sales sales order for some of the materials. When all of the materials at the order are producedi I want to triger the availability check but availability check triggered autpmatically when for the first time the order is created. I don't want the system to make the confirmation automatically. How can I avoid automatical quantity confirmation of the items?
    Thanks in advance for the answers....

    Hi Yasar
    This can be done 2  ways
    1.if you want individual material stocks to be checked for avialbility and deliver them independently then check whether you are using requirement type KSV.
    2. If you want to send the group of materials together and do not want to send a material which is part of group individually ,you can use delivery group with Sales Bill of material  concept . the header material may be a fantom assembly .
    The delivery group is set at the item  category level ,so u can set it for the item categories u want to go together.
    for example  all text package inserts ,extra spares and a material must go together, they  will be part of delivery group.
    I hope this helps
    Regards

    How can you make your persona show on the top and bottom?
    Also can you make it bigger at the top to show more of the picture?

    Add extra empty toolbars if you want to see more of the persona.<br />
    You can create extra toolbars to get extra space via View > Toolbars > Customize<br />
    You have to put something on a toolbar (drag a Space item onto it) before closing the Customize window because empty toolbars are automatically removed.<br />

  • How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?

    How can you get an applet to obey the CSS z-index attribute?
    I have a DHMTL page with a panel that I want to slide back and forth. But another part of the requirement is to have the panel look like it is sliding under another panel.
    The problem is that an applet is on the panel that slides. When the sliding panel move under the stationary panel the applet does not go under the stationary panel, but the reset of the sliding panel does render looking like it is sliding under.
    See below.

    --------------------------------------------------------Where @ is the applet. Notice how the applet is on top of the ^ but the panel under it, ^, is under like it should be. All the panels are 1x1 tables with a border. So how can I get the applet on the drawing shown with # and * to follow the rendering of the z-index of 2?

    Hi,
    I have the same problem, and don't know how to solve it, So, i had tried to put my applet in a div tag wih z-index=0, but it still hide my other Dhtml divs with bigger Z-index (z-index =1000)
    Have you any idea to solve this.
    Thanks

  • How can I avoid having to save edited photos to desktop?

    I use iPhoto '09 for organizing my photos and Photoshop Elements 6 for Mac for editing my photos, most of which are JPEGs. My procedure is to make a duplicate of the photo I wish to edit and then hand it off to PSE 6 for editing via the Edit in External Editor option.
    I notice a strange phenomenon when saving my photos after editing them. Sometimes the photos can be saved directly to the same folder in which the unedited duplicate version resides (my preference), but more often I have to save the edited version to my desktop and then import it into my iPhoto program. I have not been able to discern a reason why I need to save the edited images to my desktop. The system seems arbitrary in this regard. I don't recall having this issue to deal with when I used iPhoto '06 and PSE 4 for Mac. I would appreciate somebody explaining this phenomenon and indicate how I can consistently save an edited photo directly to the folder in which the unedited version resides instead of having to save it to my desktop and then import it into iPhoto.
    For your information I use iPhoto Library Manager.
    Bob

    A simple rule of thumb is: if the file format of the edited photo does not change due to the editing the file is saved to the Modified folder and viewed by iPhoto as if iPhoto did the editing. If the editing requires a format change, i.e. from jpg to psd then the new file must be saved to the desktop and imported as a new photo. The following expands on that:
    Using Photoshop (or Photoshop Elements) as Your Editor of Choice in iPhoto.
    1 - select Photoshop as your editor of choice in iPhoto's General Preference Section's under the "Edit photo:" menu.
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..
    NOTE: With Photoshop Elements 6 the Saving File preferences should be configured: "On First Save: Save Over Current File". Also I suggest the Maximize PSD File Compatabilty be set to Always.
    If you want to use both iPhoto's editing mode and PS without having to go back and forth to the Preference pane, once you've selected PS as your editor of choice, reset the Preferences back to "Open in main window". That will let you either edit in iPhoto (double click on the thumbnail) or in PS (Control-click on the thumbnail and seledt "Edit in external editor" in the Contextual menu). This way you get the best of both worlds
    2 - double click on the thumbnail in iPhoto to open it in Photoshop. When you're finished editing click on the Save button. If you immediately get the JPEG Options window make your selection (Baseline standard seems to be the most compatible jpeg format) and click on the OK button. Your done.
    3 - however, if you get the navigation window that indicates that PS wants to save it as a PS formatted file. You'll need to either select JPEG from the menu and save (top image) or click on the desktop in the Navigation window (bottom image) and save it to the desktop for importing as a new photo.
    This method will let iPhoto know that the photo has been editied and will update the thumbnail file to reflect the edit..

  • How  can you avoid that an ABAB-Function works with an  EXPORT_PARAMETER

    Hello everybody,
    I have to call the ABAP-Function ECATT_EXECUTE via JCO.
    In SAP 7.0 there is a new EXPORT_PARAMETER for the function ECATT_EXECUTE, which is called E_RESULT_XML.
    There is a statement "IF E_RESULT_XML is requested" which gives always TRUE, so that the function tried to fill this Parmeter and an error occurred while processing.
    How you can avoid this ?
    What you can do, that this IF-Statement gives FALSE ?
    Every helpful hint is welcome !

    Hi Klaus,
    It may be because when calling a function via JCO all import/export/table parameters are always passed with the call.  Have you tried running the function from a test ABAP program and NOT requesting the parameter E_RESULT_XML?  If that works ok, the simple solution is to create a custom wrapper function module that you can call from JCO, which will call ECATT_EXECUTE for you ignoring E_RESULT_XML and then return the results to your Java.
    Hope this helps,
    Gareth.

    This program makes a bootable floppy disk, and cannot be installed via any other method than a FDD or USB FDD.
    It works on many other HP business desktops other than those listed. It has been used successfully in PC's up to a couple years old.
