Anyone know how to get reflowing text to automatically fit screen? I know on my phone and gtablet we have a plus and minus button for zooming text larger ie Android. Does IE, Chrome, or Firefox have this option or setting available and how to set it.

 

This is for us with aging eyes...studying, reading etc for 49 years.

 

Any help appreciated.

Mine isn't having the keyboard problems etc that everyone else is having.

 

Thanks universe.....

    Hardware key is still working when IE browsing.

    Zoom in : Ctrl and +

    Zoom out : Ctrl and -

     

    Or using two fingers to  zoom in or out for win8 apps.

    Thanks but I was talking about when you zoom (the plus and minus buttoms on bottom right) in like pinch and zoom, it cuts off the right part of the sentence and puts in on the next line below like in Android and makes the text larger and larger. Maybe I am asking for too much of IE or the other browsers. I just got hooked on my HTC Evo 4G thats retired.

     

    I think at one time I had a setting in one of the browsers that automatically trinicated the lines at the right and moved them down to keep the entire article I was reading within the boudries of the screen width.

     

    Thanks.

    It's good to point out one of win8 unfriendly user experiences , we couldn't expect microsoft to improve it but some browser could do.

    I found what I was looking for in Firefox. Click view, zoom, text only. Now I can pinch and zoom and enlarge text within a column width while holding the W510 in portrait. Hope this helps someone too????
