Increasing font size in help viewer

[dmontaine]

For those of us with aging eyes:

1. In the CHM viewer click Options, Internet Options, Accessibility
4. Click the "Ignore font sizes specified on Web pages" check box
5. Click OK

The help viewer with now respond to the Ctrl++ and Ctrl+- commands
to change the size of the text.

Thanks for posting. However, I noticed my CHM help doc responds to Ctrl+Plus and Ctrl+Minus without that setting enabled - I just checked it.

This is the second post I've seen recently about CHM issues where my PC seems immune. Why would CHM work for me but not the others? (Rhetorical).

Because you have a new version of Windows. This was not the case in the old version. There is no such thing in Windows XP. I don't know what version it started with.

But the button I mentioned is in WindowsXP. In this case, you need to compile with flags for it to appear. Note that in Explorer, the mouse wheel with Ctrl did not work before either, but now it does

What button did you mention above? And XP is not mentioned above, either. And you're talking about compiling with flags when nothing above is about app compilation? I literally have no idea what you're talking about. Are you responding to the wrong topic, maybe?

Button in the screenshot, it's called Font. This button cycles the font size 5 times, returning to the original size. CHM is an archive file with some data structure. You can unpack it with 7-zip and then compile it with "HTML Help Workshop". You can set compilation flags to display the buttons you want on the toolbar. And believe me, I always know in what topic I write.

Oh, I didn't see the screenshot at first. My bad!
