    I was browsing normally yesterday evening when I clicked on a link (one to a site I regularly visit no less) and when the page loaded up the font size had been dramatically increased and also the font itself had been changed. Now all pages I load are in this new style, with annoyingly large sized text. I was nowhere near the Tools menu or any other configuration menu when this happened and now I can't make it go away. I reinstalled IE but it had no effect. Anyone has any idea how I can resolve this?

    Or, if you have a wheel mouse, hold down the ctrl key and spin the wheel?

    Miz - thank you for the "wheel mouse / CTRL Key" thing. I never knew that. Love it and will save lots of mousing around. :D

    Grounded, don't feel stupid. We've all done it and we'll all do it again: "How come X happens?" Answer: "Because you clicked on Y." "Oh yeah...errrr....duh....thanks." :D

    Newt, you're welcome for the ctrl/wheel trick. I learned it on TechTV so I suppose I should give their geeks a little credit. Fun, isn't it? Kind of like The Font Size Wheel of Fortune. ;)
