The steps to make text larger in MSN vary by the operating system and browser that you are using.
Change the size of text and images
Zoom increases or decreases the size of everything on a webpage, including text and images. To change or reset the amount a webpage is zoomed in or out, use these keyboard shortcuts:
Zoom in:
-
Windows: Ctrl + plus sign
-
iOS: Command + plus sign
Zoom out:
-
Windows: Ctrl + minus sign
-
iOS: Command + plus sign
Reset page size to 100%:
-
Windows: Ctrl + 0 (zero)
-
iOS: Command + 0 (zero)
Note: For the reset shortcut, use the zero from the numbers at the top of your keyboard. The zero on the numeric keypad may not work as expected for this shortcut.
Change the size of text only
