I need help. After many years with Internet Explorer, and getting fed up with it, I've decided to make a change, and have found Opera to be better by far than anything else available, but unfortunately there is a downside for me, one that I'm hoping you can help me with.

Firstly I need to tell you that I am registered blind, although I still retain a very small amount of residual vision. I'm also virtually deaf, though that has n bearing on the problem I want help with.

I am completely new to Opera, as well as using forums, so please excuse me it this request for help is in the wrong place, or a stupid question to ask. Sometimes what seems a question easy to answer by the knowledgeable is a problem to us over 60s.

I know you can enlarge text and web page content by using the settings facility in Opera, but I'm struggling with the very top of the page where the tabs, navigation, address panel and settings button are placed. There is also a panel below those mentioned with a button with a cross on it and also some writing that is way too small for me to read. What I could do with is help in making these items bigger so that I can see. Can you advise me?

Many thanks

Steve
