Chosen solution

Change text size.

If text is generally too small for you in most parts of Windows and programs in Windows, then you can change how big things look for everything in Windows:

Windows 7: Right-click on the desktop and choose "Personalize" Then click on "Display" in the bottom left corner.

Windows 10: Right-click on the desktop and choose "Display Settings"


If you just want to change the text size of the e-mails you read in Thunderbird:

Press the Alt key or F10 key to show the Thunderbird menu. Thunderbird menu: Tools: Options: Display: Formatting tab Change the default font size to be bigger.


If you just want to change the default text size for e-mails you write (if people complain your e-mail text is too small or too large), then:

Press the Alt key or F10 key to show the Thunderbird menu. Thunderbird menu: Tools: Options: Composition: General tab Change the font size in the HTML section.
