Is there any way to enlarge the font inside the main post editing box of WP? when composing in 'paragraph' mode, I can barely see my own words. I would suppose this is a WP dashboard operation, but I thought you might have a suggestion.

In both Firefox and IE you can press Ctrl++ on your keyboard to increase and Ctrl+- to decrease the font size (not only in the WP editor but on any web site)

Ctrl++ means "press and hold the 'Ctrl' key, then press the '+' key as well". You can repeat this (+/-) to increase/decrease the font in steps

Duh! I do this all the time, and it just never crossed my mind while I was working in WP...

Sorry to bother you with that one...it's late.
