The IE text resizer is easily added by its user to the main menu bar, where
it should be considerably more prominent and understandable as a tool than in
the statusbar. In IE <7 this is done via view toolbars customize, and the
right side toolbar in IE7 via tools toolbars customize, something one might
mention to complainers who don't seem interested in using a better browser. I
do this automatically with every IE I ever touch, and if looking over
someone's shoulder, ask if she ever finds web site text too small to read,
then borrow her mouse briefly to put it there and show her what it does.
