I tried this on several Ancestry pages, and it doesn't work. One exception is on the Message Boards, where CTRL-scroll key changes the size of the font in the navigation bar and the bullets before each message, but not the text in the messages themselves. Other sites are similarly erratic. For example, AOL's mail pages don't change size with CTRL-scroll. This is a big problem for anyone with limited vision. Does anyone know why this happens? Is it a setting on my computer? If not, who should we contact at Ancestry to see about fixing it? Wilson In a message dated 9/4/2006 3:26:28 A.M.

For those using Windows they also have a tool under Accessories called Magnifier. You can change how large you want to see a certain section that way. It works very nicely, especially for some of ancestry's small print.
