Many friends often complain to me about the small text sizes used on millions of webpages. They ask me for help about what can be done to make the text size larger while using Internet Explorer 6.0. I have consulted them about changing the font size using Internet Explorer 6.0 and now they are very happy seeing larger text on webpages.

Countless webpages around the internet still have small and difficult to read font sizes. Here is a step-by-step tutorial to show you how to change the font sizes of webpages when you use your Internet Explorer 6 web browser.
