font too large

I am using a Dell H266 running Windows ME. All of a sudden the pages on the net are too large and anything I print off of Outlook Express will not fit the page, all other programs are normal. Anyone know what happened? Hasn't ever been a hiccup wiht this system.

My guess is that the display settings got changed. To check, go to Start>settings>control panel > display>settings, and change the screen resolution. HTH

Royp123, That is the first thing I checked. it is set at 800X600
All programs have the right sized pages when printing or otherwise. It is just when I sign on the net or print from OutLook Express. Also checked the printer settings although that would have nothing to do with the net pages being too big. Got me buffalo'd

Have you got a cat that likes to walk on the keyboard? I do and every once in a while she changes the test size. Click on view in the tool bar and check your Text settings. Make it smaller.

No genius here, just a guy with cats! Here's a free tip. If you want to change the font on the fly, hold the Ctrl button while moving your scroll wheel.
