Adjust font size in help screen

Post by emcat »

Hello Atlanteans - The size of the text in the help screen is impossibly small for me. I cannot find where to adjust this. Can anyone help? Thanks!

There is no simple way to change font size in existing CHM files. But please see the following page:

It suggests multiple solutions. I have just tried a solution with adjusting Internet Options, and it worked on my system.

Hi,
Currently, you cannot change the font size of the offline CHM files. But you can change the font size of the Atlantis online help. Simply display any page of interest at http://www.atlantiswordprocessor.com/en/help, click in the help topic, then press the Ctrl key and scroll your mouse wheel up to increase the font size, the mouse wheel down to decrease the font size.

You might also want to have a look at this software:

Thank you, Admin. The geekycoder site is very informative. I do not use Internet Explorer however (Opera) so those solutions didn't apply. I was about to try using the Firefox option, but then I saw Robert's solution which worked a treat. Thanks again for your help.

The Help in any next release of Atlantis will have the "Font" button to change font size:

Clicking this button will affect displaying of all CHM files in your system.
