Help a geezer out

Inline Tube
I'm trying to look at their online catalog but for the life of me, I can't get it to expand enough to be able to read it (comfortably).
The options bar will expand but the catalog will only go so far. In fact, when I have the catalog up and try to enlarge the screen the catalog gets smaller every clic of the +. A print catalog is no longer available according to them. Their email linked me back to the online catalog.
Thanks, K. Lee

Well I certainly can relate to that. Here's something that might help you out.
  • Open the catalog as normal
  • clik the + sign to expand
  • Now roll your mouse wheel 'up' and the page will enlarge. Roll 'down' and the page will get smaller. This only works when you've pressed the + on their page first. Otherwise it just makes the pages flip forward or back.
Hope that helps, It works well for me.

Not sure what you are meaning by "expand the screen". If you are trying to make the printed material larger, hold down the CTRL key and press the + on the number pad. It will get larger as you do this, at some point it will start going smaller.

Thanks
It worked with the up/down buttons but not as big as I'd like. I'll manage.
Thank you again, K. Lee

When I said, "expand the screen", I meant "go to full screen". I'm probably using improper terminology.
Thanks, K. Lee

Tried that but it didn't work. Wonder if it makes a difference on what browser is being used. I prefer Chrome.

Possibly, but I'm using Chrome as well.
As I was writing this my computer savvy daughter called and we went through it together, she said the catalog will only get so big. "Use your glasses" lol.
I'm curious as to why I can enlarge the table of contents to super big and the catalog to X level. I'm just a analog guy in a digital world.

I do know that if I hit the + button and then use the mouse wheel to zoom in and out I can get much larger images. To move the page around I just clik on it and drag it where I need it. Hahahaha, I love your daughters sense of humor.

Have you attempted to Zoom from your Browser? Top RH corner, three horizontal lines, drop-down to Zoom, increase the Zoom. Depending on your default settings, you may need to double-click mouse to further Zoom but you'll get up to 300%.
For Chrome, I believe it's the three dots. ...

SUCCESS !
I went to Internet Explorer hit the + at the top and Bingo I can now view Inline's catalog comfortably. Guess there's a setting in (my) Chrome that's not right.

Thanks to everyone that helped, K. Lee
