Need to increase Font Size for printing

How can I increase the font size for printing out the MS help pages? It is
so small that I can barely read it even with reading glasses. I think I
remember in display that you can increase it but then everything is so big
that you have to scroll over to see the page. AND does this increase the
size of the type that is printed out? Using Windows XP Professional

File>>Print Preview>>Click down arrow where you see "Shrink to fit"

Hi crz,

Tools>Internet Options>General tab, Accessibility button, check "Ignore font
sizes specified on web pages". Then select a default font size of Medium
(View>Text Size>Your preference), This will work for both the screen and the
printer, so you may like to leave your settings as above.

Regards.

Just go around to checking this out...worked like a charm...thank you very
much!!!! Had medium checked (View>Text Size>Your preference) but did the
Accessbility button and worked great.
