The size of the text on my computer, especially AOL Email has diminished to unreadable size. How to enlarge the text to a normal size (around 16 or larger). I've tried settings and specifications and zoom and many others but nothing changes the size of the text. Can you help in plain language that an old person can follow? I thank you in advance.
