re: El Capitan / About This Mac / Support

MacBook Air running v10.11.4 El Capitan.

Hi..

If I click About This Mac > then click the Support tab then click User Manual, the User Manual window opens but no amount of clicking Command + or clicking the magnifying glass icon helps so you can actually read the text. I've also tried a different resolution. That didn't help either.

It would be nice to actually read the manual this way so help would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance!

Carolyn,

This is the page that opens when I follow the path which you specified: Apple - Support - Manuals

I did notice that the MacBook Air is not located on that page, but not surprising, since I have an iMac Retina 5K. Clicking on the search field link, and entering MacBook Air, would be helpful for your MacBook Air viewing pleasure. 😉

Were you online, when you tried to open the manual?

It is a pity, that the most essential manuals are only available with an internet connection.

I have a Macbook Pro, and it took to me a PDF document via the web browser. In Safari I had these controls

So I could increase the size with the ➕ magnification, or I could have download the PDF with the far right icon.
