G'day Ann
Sorry to hear of your eye problem, when you have such an interest it
must be truly worrying.
I can't speak about M$ IE as it is years since I used it, however
Firefox has a native hot key <Ctrl> - <(Numeric Keypad) +> which
enlarges text in a displayed page. Unfortunately not all pages react in
the same way. (the Hunger Site
<http://www.thehungersite.com/clickToGive/home.faces?siteId=1> is a
prime example)
Hope this is some help.
