Maria,

May I ask what web browser you are using?

No matter which one you're using generally CTRL+Num Pad Plus
will increase the size/magnification of a web page being displayed and
CTRL+Num Pad Minus will decrease it. I have seen many people
accidentally reduce the magnification on a webpage or webpages they
visit frequently and if they're blind or vision-impaired and not
literally looking at those pages it makes no difference and, of course,
they have no way of knowing it's even occurred. In addition, most
browsers can and do remember how you set your magnification for any web
page you visit and when you visit it again it immediately applies those
settings.

Most browsers also support a way of doing an instant "jump to
100%," that is, normal size on a given web page, but how that's done varies.

If you're in a pinch I suggest that your sighted helper try
CTRL+Num Pad Plus to bump up the size that the page is displayed in.
Each hit takes it a little bit larger.

Brian

[Edited Message Follows]
[Reason: Request for screen capture]

Maria,

The default, unless you as an end user change it for a
specific web page, is for the browser to present the page at 100%. Now,
if you're using something like a screen magnifier that layers over top
of everything, but should make everything larger.

I have never seen a web browser present *every* page
consistently at less than 100%. If you are seeing this happen
consistently in, say, IE then I'd need to research if there is some
global setting of which I've been unaware that instructs the browser to
present all web pages at some pre-determined percentage of "natural"
size. From what I can get from what you've written it sounds like
something's causing all your webpages in a given browser to be presented
in reduced size, and that is quite unusual.

If it's possible to get someone to help you to get a screen
capture of precisely what you're seeing (which is done with ALT+PrtSc),
paste it into MS-Paint or some other image processing software, save it,
and post it that would be immensely helpful to me.

Maria,

MS-Paint has been included with every version of Windows since
Windows made its debut. So, unless you have had someone do some really
odd modifications to your system, it's still there and ready to be
called upon. That's what I use to paste all my screen captures in to
and then save them for later mailing, posting, etc.

I'm not sure which "that" you're referring to in your "that
doesn't work, either," response.

Remember, too, that JAWS can and does occasionally hijack
certain Windows or program keyboard commands. It may be necessary to
exit JAWS temporarily to determine whether it's what's causing any
keyboard command that should typically work to not work.

I mean that neither the alt plus space bar nor the f 11 work to increase
screen size on web pages.
The control plus the num pad plus works fine but it means turning my
numlock on then off again for JAWS to work.  But that's OK too.

Hi Maria,
When you get the message that Maximize is unavailable, this means that
the screen is already maximized. Also, if you press, F11, this puts the
screen in Full Screen mode, & this mode will make the menues unavailable
but, pressing, F11, again should turn the Full Screen mode off.
Take care.

Maria,

What version of Windows are you running? Is this problem
limited to IE or do you have the same size issues with the other
browsers as well? I wish I could help more, but I am truly having
trouble envisioning just precisely what is occurring here, hence the
request for screen shots. Also, what is the make and model of your laptop?

BTW, if you've got a full sized keyboard on your laptop you
should not need to turn NumLock on (or off) in order to access the plus,
minus, asterisk (times sign), slash (divide sign) or Enter key on the
number pad. Since these keys don't have dual function on any machine
I've ever seen they produce their respective characters independent of
the state of the Num Lock key. Try it again just to verify, but I tried
it here (sans JAWS, mind you) and the state of the Num Lock key has no
effect on those keys that don't do double duty on the number pad.
