What are the IE shortcut keys that shrink or expand the font size of HTML in IE.

Hello donphiltrodt

To change the font size in IE, hold down the Alt key and type V in
order to open the View Menu.  At this point, you can release the Alt
key and the menu will stay open. From now on, if you need a prompt,
the letter you need to type to select each menu item is underlined on
the menu.  Type x to select the Text Size option.  Select text size by
typing one of the following letters: a for smallest, s for smaller, m
for medium, l for larger or g for largest.

Hold down your control key and scroll the wheel on any scrolling
mouse.  Each notch up will increse all fonts one size; each notch down
will decrease them.

Just in case you need a browser that will change font size on the fly,
try Opera.  It can zoom in and out of text and picture at the touch of
one key.
