Here I am hat in hand again.

I just added FireFox as recommended and am viewing AW for the first time with it.

On Internet Explorer, I was able to boost font size 150% for these old eyes, but I can't find the handle to make print larger in this new mode.

Feel free to call me nasty computer-challenged names, but please use small words in your explanation.

You can use Ctrl with either the plus or minus sign to zoom in or out.

There are other settings you can change, but you might want to try that first.

Or use the mouse to click on "View" at the top of the browser, go down to "Zoom", and click on "Zoom In".

Works perfectly (the first suggestion). I signed out and back in, and the adjustment stayed the same.

Can't thank you enough for your quick help, Alleycat.

Grateful Chase, no longer squinting.

If this becomes something you have to constantly tinker with on various websites, there is a zoom tool you can add to your toolbar. Some of them are fairly simple and some will let you take a window area and temporarily zoom in to it.

I know how to zoom. What I don't know is how to make it larger when it prints because sometimes when I print something from the web it comes out ant-like.

Sometimes what I do is copy it to a word document and make it the size i prefer, and then print it. There is probably a more smarty pants effective solution though :)
