    Hi. Folks, My browser is Internet Explorer. Web pages are shown in small text size.When I use the 'View' menu it does not matter whether I select the 'Largest' or 'Smallest' options, There is no change in text size. My system is Windows XP Home Edition. I would value any information which may sort this matter. Regards, William.

    Hi William,
    Take a look HERE for a possible solution.

    Hope this helps

    *edit* I just found this (if you have a wheel mouse):

    "In Internet Explorer or when viewing a Help file, simply hold the ctrl key while you spin the mouse wheel up to increase text size, or down to decrease text size "

    Also try going into tools~internet options~accessibility button and checking the boxes to ignore font size and font style from the web page. You get lots more control over text size that way - along with a typeface that is much easier to read.

    Glad it helped. I'm an old bird with old eyes and just described how I have to set my PC to enjoy using the browser. :)

    And we both need to thank Arie since he showed me how to set things up a couple of years ago. :D
