The quoted text above is incorrect; try ctrl-alt-plus and ctrl-alt-minus, and you have to use the plus and minus keys on the numeric keypad. The ones on the top row of the keyboard won't do anything (well, they get passed on to whichever application has keyboard focus; whatever happens then is up to the app). Richard
