For about 1 Year I encountered exactly this thing a few times without knowing that it was Strg + MouseWheel - so I thought it was a Bug! I didn't post anythig about it, because I couldn't find the reason nor reproduce it!

:evil: :evil: !!!WHY DIDN'T ANYONE WRITE IT IN THE MANUAL!!! :evil: :evil:

i think its something standard like hotkeys "strg+c" "strg+v" "strg+d" "strg+esc" and so on... :wink:

I held down the left Ctrl (Control) key and middle mouse button-scroll wheeled and sure enough... the text go'eth larger and the text go'eth smaller!

Thanks for the tip. It never dawned on me to try this in jaPBe.

It's a windows feature.... If your mouse has a scroll wheel it should work in many apps...

Try it on your web browser (any) or in a PDF...

It's also quite handy for OpenOfice or MS Office documents :P
