SD,

Normally the mouse wheel does the same thing as the Page Up and Page Down
keys. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express Ctrl + mouse wheel zooms the
Text Size. The same as View | Text Size | Pick a size. Each notch on the
wheel changes to the next Text Size.

I do that by accident all the time. In fact I discovered this by accident
and can't find any documentation on it.

This doesn't work in OE if you are composing a message. Just like links
aren't live while composing a message in OE.

Hold the Ctrl key down and move the mouse wheel back and forth.

If you have a message open or even reading a message in the preview pane it
should work.

This should work with both the left and right Ctrl keys. Have you tried
both Ctrl keys?

Thanks for your reply.
Functions as you suggest in the EI page.
Looking for the same kind of shortcut key when reading messages from the
inbox or newsgroup messages or replies.

Thanks for your reply. As I stated before Ctrl + scroll on mouse does
not have any effect reading message. Where is the choice to select
change zoom
level. Bringing my cursor arrow to where the message appears and
pressing Ctrl and scrolling mouse wheel does nothing.

Hello, Does this answer your request or did I misunderstand?
Notes from IE7 Help.

If you have a mouse with a wheel, hold down the CTRL key, and then
scroll
the wheel to zoom in or out.
If you click the Change Zoom Level button , it will cycle through 100%,
125%, and 150%, giving you a quick enlargement of the webpage.
From the keyboard you can increase or decrease the zoom value in 10%
increments. To zoom in, press CTRL+PLUS SIGN. To zoom out, press
CTRL+MINUS
SIGN. To restore the zoom to 100%, press CTRL+0.
take care.

Hello, Hold down the "ctrl" key and click on the "+" key to increase 10%
each time.
Then the "ctrl" key and "-" key to decrease. If this is not working check
your bottom tool bar right side for zoom adjustments. If not there you
may need to remove then reinstall the browser. IE7 is located in the
control panel - add/remove section.
take care.
beamish.
