When I am on the net, is there a way to make the whole
page fit on my screen. I have the page open to full size
and I have my view set at smallest text. I hate having to
use the scroll bar at the bottom of the screen to move
the page back and forth. I have Windows XP.

Pages on a web site, as viewed in a browser can be of any size. They
range from very little information, to the equivalent of an entire book
on one page. So you can't really get what you want.

I recommend you try to perceive it differently.

Focus instead on making your view of the page as large as possible.

- consider getting a new mouse with a "wheel button". Makes scrolling
much easier than using the scroll bar and somewhat easier than PgUp and
PgDn keys.
- remove all the tool bars and favourites panels from the browser
- change your computer resolution to highest possible. Seek way beyond
1024x768, for example, if possible with your video card and monitor.
- get a more powerful video card and monitor if you want more.
- if you get a new monitor, buy the biggest monitor you can afford and
fit in the space available. (big monitors are big and heavy ... but they
are a joy to use).

The problem isn't the page being to long for the screen
it is being to wide for the screen. I have a brand new
computer with a large flat screen.

this depend on the site that u r trying to view. you can
adjust your screnn resolution to 1024x768 and that might
help. to do that goto your display properties in the
control panel and under settings change your resolution to
1024x768 or maybe even more.

This works but makes all the text really small. And it
will not increase by clicking on View, Text Size, Largest.
My eye site is not well enough to keep this resolution.

While you are in the Display area, click on the Appearance tab. There is a
Font window there. You probably have "Normal" selected. Click on the
triangle to the right of that window and select Large. See how that words.
There is even a Largest setting there. Or hold the control key down while
you roll your mouse scroll wheel (if you have one). Text you can't read
will get larger or smaller as you roll the wheel one way or the other. Or
change your screen resolution to somewhere in between where you originally
had it and the setting that makes text too small.
