IE displays large text and tables don't size correctly

[Guest]

For some reason Internet Explorer recently started
displaying certain texts larger than normal and tables
included on webpages don't resize correctly cause the
words to break up and become hard to read. I tried
changing around my resolution, tried the accesibilty
controls in Control Panel, but can't seem to correct the
problem, anyone have any ideas?

Did you try View/Text Size?
Change it to a smaller font.


Or possibly.
How do I configure Internet Explorer to prevent its text size from
arbitrarily changing from medium to small?

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 I.E. 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.
