The command Control & + will increase font size. Hold Control and press + repeatedly to increase font size even further. Control & - does the opposite. :)
Introduction
I would like to make a guide on making a good one. Why? I have made a successful guide and Knowledge Base and would like to show you Blank101's Checklist.
Easy-to-Read Guide
Make your guide organized rather than a piece of composed spam.

If you can I suggest you use lists to organize your information such as bullets, asterisks and\or hyphens.
If you have a brother or sister let them try to read and ask them if it is easy to read or review it yourself
A good sign of a bad guide is that it hurts your eyes
Tiny Guides
I have seen many guides which were only a paragraph or a sentence [ROFL!] long. It has to be at least a page long to meet the size requirement.
HTML
Only use HTML in guide submissions. NO BBCODE!
You might have noticed the forums do not display HTML in posts
Therefore I suggest you use Notepad or another text editor to make your guide and your web browser to preview it
Once you are done copy the code and post it in Guide Submissions

NO GUIDES TO BE PUT IN THE GUIDE DISCUSSION SECTION!
The proper section is Guide Submissions
External Sources
Make sure at least 50% of your guide is original information
If you do use outside sources please name them like in the example below

Only make a guide that discusses gameplay
Gameplay means when you play the game
Do not make guides on how to use the forums as that is what the FAQs are for
Step-by-Step HTML
Goto your Notepad editor Start Menu + Accessories + Notepad
Let's start making your guide! Copy the code below
<html>
</head>
<body>
</body>
</html>
Guides are full of text and you can change how that text looks using the <font></font> tags. Copy the code below and place it in between the <body></body> tags
<font face ="" size="" color=""></font>
Here is an example of proper placement
<html>
</head>
<body>
<font face="" size="" color=""><font>
</body>
</html>
Now apply the font to your text by putting your text between the <font></font> tags like the example below
<font face="" size="" color="">Hello this is text I may put!</font>
What you can change
size changes size; color changes color; face changes font
Example <font face="arial" size="3" color="skyblue">Hai!</font>
Example 2 <font face="impact" size="5" color="#d9a0c0">Hello</font>
Here are other tags you can use. Place text in between these tags to change their display.
<b></b> Text; <i></i> Text; <u></u> Text
Example<b><i><u>Bai!</b><i></u>
Example 2 <font face="" size="" color=""><b>HAI!</b></font>
You should know.... Pressing enter doesn't create a new line, you must use <br> to do that. Pressing space before a line doesn't move the text you must use . You do not need when typing in between text
Got screenshots? Use the <img></img> tags to add your images. Copy the code below and place them wherever necessary
<img scr="" alt="" width="" height=""></img>
src is where the image is, alt is alternate text [optional]; width changes width [optional]; height changes height [optional]
Example<img src="img152.imageshack.us\example.jpg" alt="MY PICTURE IS MISSING >.<" width="50%" height="400"></img>
If you want to put a horizontal line use the code below
<hr width="" height="" color=""></hr>
width changes width; height changes height; color changes color
Example<hr width="100%" height="4" color="red"></hr>
Wanna make a bulleted list? This is a bit complicating.
<ul>indents; </ul>Ends indent; <li>Creates bullet
<ul><li>Text
<ul><li>Text
<li>Text
</ul></ul>
Creates this
Text

Text
Got a link? No problem copy the code below
<a href="" target=""></a>
href is where the link is going to; target is where the link will open, typing _blank will open the page in a new tab\window [optional]
Example<a href="http:\\www.pawngame.com" target="_blank"></a>
Puting text in between the <a></a> tags will also work
Example 2 <a href="http:\\www.pawngame.com"><font face="arial" size=2">Visit Pawn Game!</font></a>
Wanna make a table with rows and columns? Copy the code below
<table width="" height="" border="">
<tr height="">
<td bgcolor="" bgimg="" width=""></tr></td></table>
table creates a table; border sets border width; bgcolor sets a background color while bgimg sets a background image
tr creates a new row; td creates a new column;
Example<table>
<tr>
<td bgimg="img152.imageshack.us\example.jpg"><font>Text</font></td>
<td>Stuff</td>
</tr></table>
