Re: Text too large to read

Internet Explorer | View | Text Size | Pick a size. Same in Outlook
Express.

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.

Also...

IE | Tools | Internet Options | General tab | Accessibility button |
Ignore font sizes specified on web pages

Ignore font sizes specified on web pages
[[Specifies whether you want Internet Explorer to always use the default
font size you choose. You can set the default font size on the General tab
by clicking the Fonts button. If the author of a Web page chooses a
different default font size, the settings you choose here will override it.
You cannot change the size or color of graphics.]]

Also...

Customize the font size, formatting, colors
[[You can specify the font sizes, styles, and colors, and foreground and
background colors of Web pages displayed on your computer screen, even if
the author of the Web page has already specified these. You can also specify
the color used to indicate links in Web pages, or a special color for links
that is used only when the mouse passes over the link.

These customizations are useful if you have low vision, need larger fonts,
or need high-contrast colors. You can set Internet Explorer to use the
colors and fonts you specify, the default Windows colors and fonts, or the
settings you specify in your own style sheet.]]

Changing Web page fonts and background colors
[[When Web authors and designers create Web pages, they often specify
particular type (font) faces, colors, sizes, and background colors. These
settings are specified for each item, or in a "style sheet," which is a type
of template for specifying how different styles should appear throughout a
Web page or site.

You can override any or all of these settings, which is useful if you have
limited or low vision. You can specify your font and color preferences for
all pages that do not use style sheets, and then you can specify whether to
use any or all of your preferences on pages that use style sheets.]]

ASW <ASW@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx> hunted and pecked:
On some web pages, the text blows up so large, I'm talking about a letter
the size of my entire screen, that it is impossible to read. I've shrunk
the fonts in View and through the control panel but I'm talking about
something different. It's only on some web pages, but most annoyingly in
the Microsoft Web pages. How do I fix this?
