Can't alter font size

Guest

I have no Idea how this happened, but font size won't change. All size
numbers are listed in the drop down, but all are in font size (1) All other
radio buttons, emoticons, etc are fully functional. I run XP btw. . Any ideas?
Much Thanks,

Hi Der Bradinator :)

Try the following and see if it helps:

To change the font text size go to IE>View>Text Size>and select the size you
want from the list.

Or…..

If you have a wheel on your mouse, hold down the Ctrl key and move the
wheel. This may get your fonts back to the size you want.

Also…

Check in IE>Tools>Internet Options>General tab>Accessibility

For normal viewing nothing should be checked in these sections. Also check
the setting in Control Panel>Accessibility Options>Display is set to Windows
Standard and make sure the High Contrast is not checked.

Other possibilities at http://inetexplorer.mvps.org/answers/53.html

Try disabling any third-party security/privacy programs you have
running. A program such as Norton Internet Security, a firewall, ad-blocker,
etc might be involved.

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.
