Font too small

Hi everyone,
Basically when i load web pages, all of a sudden the text has become so tiny i can hardly read it, on this site for example.

Is there anything i can do about this? Maybe in preferences or something?

Thanks in advance

Mackem

Assuming IE6, Win XP and a Scroll mouse

hold down the CTRL key and roll the scroll wheel, works in other programs too!

glad to help, I foiund it by mistake and now use it as my eyes get tired later in the day.

"worked a treat" don't hear that here (cept when I talk to my parents).

I came to the US with my parents in 62 (mind you I was 20 months old at the time) Father was from London and Mother from Merthyr in S Wales.

Man ! works as a forward and back button too, when you press the shift key instead of Ctrl.

I have the same problem.

Seems Outlook (not OE) has something to do with it.

Ya, I know how easy is to resize the font using the scroll and ctrl but I wish there was a way to maintain the font big for good!

Instead of using the mouse whel you can go to 'Veiw>Text Size>(medium is good for me)'. Im not sure if this is on all versions of IE but i assume it is.
