I get several newsletters via email. The type size is too small to read. I cannot make the text larger using WIN7. Suggestions how to?
Hold the screen further away!
Upgrade to a current version of Windows?
CRTL+ScrollWheel on mouse doesn’t zoom in? Should work even if viewing as PDF. Rather odd
Having to deal with 8 and 10 on the wife’s machine, no way will I change.
What format are the letters in? PDF or some image version?
Assuming you are using Webmail and the Internet Explorer: Select the Sprocket Gear in the upper right corner and you find Zoom. This should help a lot.
Are you saying that you cannot go to. “settings” and dial up the zoom using the plus sign? I bet you can.
Alternatively you could go to Google and type in “how do I make the text in an email larger?”
Control and push +
My absolute biggest concern about upgrading to Windows 10, and indeed, I am in the market for a new desktop computer right now, is that you lose complete control over updates. If they come out with an update that causes a bug or causes a problem you own it. Or maybe I should say, it owns you.

Change the font size or use a different font as your default on your email account.
Or cut and paste to Word. Enlarge on Word.
Past the email to a new composition page and enlarge from there.
Delete them. Emails are usually not worth reading.
Yes, that CRTL + mouse scroll wheel moved forward should do it every time, no matter what’s on the screen.
I’m not a technical person, and I use Apple. What format does the newsletter come in? PDF? or something other. Does it come as an attachment? In my Apple mail program I can save any email anywhere on my laptop, in Raw Message Text, Rich Text Format, and Plain Text. Then I can open it in either my TextEdit program, or my Preview program.
If you connect to your router via WiFi you can set your connection to be metered. (Metered connections are based on how much you download). This effectively prevents updates from downloading.
Be careful however - if you ever connect that machine via Ethernet it will download everything you blocked!
Also, you may be able to highlight the whole newsletter, then increase the font size to make it bigger. On Apple, we use Command and + sign.
CTRL + works for me. Makes the image larger or if too large CTRL - works.
The Help files are your friend.....
Highlight the screen and hit Ctrl + ‘+’.
Never a problem. I have used windows forever and no big issues.
