Tiny tiny font

Whenever I try and use the help files in microsoft programs, the font is microscopic... I can't find any option to change the size to something at least readable.

Any takers?

I believe the help pages for MS are HTML based... try holding down CTRL on your keyboard and scrolling your mouse wheel (hopefully your mouse has one)!

Just a shot in the dark,

Thank you, the mouse trick worked rather well. Maybe my finger slipped once before and caused the problem in the first place...

You wouldn't happen to know anything about the private character editor, would you? I created a character at unicode E000-0, but it doesn't show up in the character map. I was perusing the help files to try and find a solution... but so far no dice; it doesn't show up in the "private characters" section.

Glad the mouse scroll trick worked...
Sorry, I don't know anything about the encoding issue. Hopefully someone will be along shortly that can help you out.

Good luck!
