Text size changes

[Steve P]

Using the View |Text Size menu selection, I set the text
size to "Larger". However when changing pages (on
different web sites) the text size often reverts
to "Medium".

Any idea why this happens and how to prevent it?

Thanks in advance.

Steve,
From MVP Alan Edwards:

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.

Hope this helps,
Don

Don,

Solution 2 seems to have done the trick. I'm suprised
that there's apparently a shared registry entry for font
size between Outlook and IE. Since they each have their
own options for setting a preference, I would have
thought that they would be persisted separately too.

Anyway, thanks again!
Steve
