I'm working my way through the (excellent) tutorial series in Max 6.

I keep trying to bump the font size up with = but no joy. Clearly, I'm getting old, but I could really use bigger text!

(I know I can open it in the browser and do it that way, but it just seems like there should be a way of doing it to the stuff that's already sitting there on my drive...)

Thanks in advance, apols for pre-starter-level noise!

(Just realised that the fact that I have to ask for help on how to use the help file doesn't exactly bode well!)

Have you tried "command =" or "command -" yet?

Unless those key combos are something new to Max 6.1, they don't work here.

I've been moaning about this for years and the answer has always been "you can open it in a browser", but as you say, that's not quite the same (can't launch patches from it, for example and no home menu).

Great that you can re-size everything else in Max, but a shame you still have to squint to read the docs!

Yup, I was thinking patch and not document. By the way if you click the Max icon at the top of any doc page it sends you home.
