Hello Anthony:

I am a mouse and a user of ZoomText so if you or your friend are using 
another screen reader I have no idea how to communicate this to you. I E 7 & 
8 has a zoom level feature. it is located in the bottom right corner of the 
screen just above the clock calendar.  I have no idea what keystrokes to use 
to get down there to pull up the zoom menu to select a different zoom level.

Below is what i.e. help says.

Change webpage text size in Internet Explorer

This information applies to Windows Internet Explorer 7 and Windows Internet 
Explorer 8.

You can make webpages easier to read by changing the text size. If you 
change the text size, graphics and controls will remain in their original 
size but the text size will change.

To change webpage text size
Click to open Internet Explorer.

Click the Page button, click Text Size, and then click the size you want.

Notes
This will change the size of text displayed in webpages, unless the text 
size was explicitly set by the person who created the page. To learn how to 
override text settings set by the person who created the webpage and use the 
fonts you pick instead, see Change the colors and fonts used for webpages.

To increase the size of everything on a webpage, including graphics and 
controls, use the zoom feature. For more information about zoom, see Zoom in 
on a webpage.
