Do you ever find that you are in a Word Document, Outlook email or other app and the text is just too small or even occasionally too big? I never really though of a fix for this but just found one. One of the guys in the office showed me a keyboard shortcut that allows you to resize text anywhere.

I don’t know how I did not know this before but there is an easy way in Windows XP to resize the text – hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroller on the mouse.

Cool? I can’t beleive how useful this is and makes using Windows a lot better

      Hehe. Well I have always notice this trick and yes, sometimes I do use it. Some websites text are soo damn small you can’t even see it. And I have good eyes. But I know on vista, if you do that on the desktop and it makes the icons bigger or smaller. Really great. Some people don’t know that this trick is just under there fingers! Great post.
