Want to magnify the screen you are looking at? Instead of looking for the three lines in the upper right hand corner of the tool bar and clicking on it and then clicking of the percentage of magnification, just hold down the Ctrl key and tap the + plus sign key above the = sign. It will enlarge itself. If you want to reduce it, hold down the Ctrl key and tap the - sign next to the 0 key. It will then reduce in size.

===Missing Div tags===
In the last contributor meeting, Jane Colmenares said that missing <div> tags were “vain of her existence.” She was referring to the difficulty of finding missing <div> or </div> tags in articles that can really mess up page. It might be for you as well. You can use Ctr F to find all the div tags but it will not help you find matching pairs opening and closing <div> tags.
Here is a suggestion to try that might help you find them a little easier:
Download a free software program called Notepad++. I works just like Notepad which comes with your windows program. Put these four lines of code on a new page in Notepad++. Then save this page with a name you can remember with a “html” extension like so: “some name.html.” You will use it more than once.
<html>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Next, download the page in Wikitext code you are having problems with between the <body> tags . Then, highlight the <div> you think might have a missing </div> tag. If it’s counterpart exists, you will notice that the it will be highlighted at the same time. If it counterpart is way down the page you may have to scroll down the page to find it.
If you don’t find one, that is the <div> tag that is missing its </div>. The same procedure can be used for all tags. « collapse
