    Is anyone else having trouble with the tiny font size in the text boxes provided by HP. This applies to the text boxes in the hub, the comments, and the answers.

    It looks like my eyesight is a little worse (I guess I am what you could call old.) I recent adjusted the font size for my computer, but it does not affect the text boxes.

    Is there a way to make the font larger?

    Just to be clear I only have a problem in edit mode.

      Catherine, I found another forum that addressed this problem. Here's the link:

        Thanks, but that thread did not help.  I adjusted the font size on my computer. (I thought it was my eyes going bad, so I was glad to learn that it wasn't me.) Now the font size is very easy to read on my account page as well as the articles themselves including comments and Q&A. 

        What I am finding very difficult to read is the tiny print in the boxes when he edit mode. Is there a way for me to fix this? It slows me down because when I am trying to proofread, I have to toggle back and forth. Even then, it is really hard to get my cursor over the typo to fix it.

        I reread the information on the link and I see I misunderstood it the first time. I made a global change to font size in my browser settings. But now I have learned that Ctrl+ will change the font size of just the one page I a looking at. I think this will solve my problem.  Thanks.

    "Stop with the tiny font size!"

    Seems to be a universal trait among all websites; I don't know why. Multiple Ctrl+ enlarges, Ctrl- reduces, Ctrl0 (zero) returns default.

      That's a good advice. Thanks.
