Hadn't realised you could use the Ctrl and the scroll wheel. Thanks for that Thelma :-) :-)

I find there is no need to play with zoom if I use Firefox or Chrome.
I always adjust zoom by holding down CONTROL and turning scroll wheel.

I've tried various ways to deal with the family tree and I think DetEctive's way is the best as it appears to be the easiest and quickest-j

Or a short cut method

Press and hold the Ctrl button on your key board. At the same time, tap the - (minus) key until the size on the page reduces.

You can enlarge the print etc again to your prefered level by holding the Ctrl button and tapping the + (plus) key.

Sounds like Prickly is referring to the Status bar at the bottom of the page.
Mark you might want to activate this, it is a pretty handy thing to have.

Left click on "View" >>> in dropdown menu Left click "Toolbars" >>> then put a tick in "Status bar" box. (Left click in box)

You need to click on "Change Zoom Level" (Bottom right hand corner) to reduce the size everytime you want to save something.
