Text Size

[jim]

In Internet explorer 6, is there a way to keep the text size set permanently
to medium without constantly reseting it through the tool bar or View - Text
Size menu everytime I start the browser?

(There are just too many pages that seem to be built for people who have
both fantastic resolution screens and good (read young) eyesight.)

thanks

It is supposed to retain the last setting.
If IE-View-Text Size does not stick....

---solution 1
If you are using Eudora 4.2 or greater then use Tools-Options-Viewing
Mail and uncheck "Use Microsoft's viewer"
It is Eudora that is setting the IE text size and unchecking that
option will stop it.

The key that Eudora 4.x will change is this:
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet
Explorer\International\Scripts\3]
"IEFontSize"=hex:02,00,00,00

---solution 2
In Outlook 2000 go to Tools/Options/Mail Format/Fonts/International
Fonts, and for each font
change the "Font Size" entry to your desired size.

It worked!!! Well I am using Eudora and did have the Microsoft viewer
checked.

Thanks so much.

I've been having trouble with this, I'm using OL2000 and solution no.2 has
done the trick.
Thank you, Alan Edwards.
