Seattle Genealogical Society Tip of the Week

TIP OF THE WEEK –  VOOM IN, VOOM OUT, RESET

Do you realize you can zoom in and zoom out on any web page using just your keyboard? No need to have a touch screen or a touchpad.

This works on virtually any operating system –  Windows, Mac OS, or Chrome OS.  On a Mac, the Command key takes the place of the CTRL key; otherwise, it is the same.

You’ll be using the control key (marked CTRL) ,  the plus key (marked +), and the zero key (numeric 0).

To zoom in, just hold down the CTRL key and tap the + key at the same time. Each tap will increase the size of the font/images on the web page in front of you.

To zoom out, just hold down the CTRL key and tap the – key at the same. Each tap will decrease the size of the font/images on the web page in front of you.

To reset everything on the web page to its original default size, hold down the CTRL key and tap the 0 once.

Easy to remember, too.   Use plus to zoom in, minus to zoom out, and zero to reset to the original default. Try it now.
