Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
i have never been great with keyboard shortcuts even though i have a computing degree. however i recently by accident discovered a cracker. if like me your eyes are getting a bit past their best and find reading websites a bit hit or miss its easy to enlarge the whole page.. its simple just hold down the CTRL key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse to expand/reduce the page.
i know a lot of you will already know this but as i said i'm not great with keyboard shortcuts.. so my smile of the day is being able to read the fine txt again without my glasses on |

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
Have you tried adjusting the focus of the font? Press ALT and F4 at the same time

On Macs this also works if you hold down control and press the + or - key and zero to go back to regular size. Might worrk too on PCs? |

the 'ctrl' + '0' does take the page back to normal size on Linux documents, but the 'ctrl' with + and - doesn't alter page size ( on a Libre spreadsheet 'ctrl' and - keys give you a pop-up window with the option to delete cells etc.)

Re: Smile of the day - What is yours?
On Friday a guy I used to go out with but haven't seen since probably 1992 got in touch to say he had a meeting near Lord's and would I like to catch up? So yesterday we went for a drink and although we didn't stay out late it was really good to see him. He lives in Brighton now, runs a couple of pubs and doesn't really see any of the old gang we were part of back then. I never kept in touch with them either. It seems like they all stayed in Chelmsford, got sensible jobs, got married, had kids, bought a people carrier and a Labrador. We may go on a beer sourcing trip to Dorset at some point in the future, which is the sort of daft thing we used to do when we were 18.
