It's too small!

Recently Janice, one of our clients who is starting to use Rexpert on the web, contacted us with an interesting question. Due to the combination of her screen resolution and monitor size, the display in her browser was too small, making it difficult to use. "How can I make this easier to work with?" she asked.

We showed her a simple but powerful feature, available in all popular web browsers: zoom level.

For any website which has a display which is too big or too small, you can use Ctrl + (plus) or Ctrl - (minus) to zoom in or out.  If you're on a Mac, use Cmd + or Cmd -.  The browser should remember your zoom level for each web site, so you'll only need to set it once.

You can always use Ctrl-0 (zero) to return the zoom level to 100%.

There are some more detailed settings you can use, depending on your browser.
