Text size gets bigger?

[Jeannie]

Ok, the first few times this happened, I thought it was
my 3-year old daughter fooling around on the computer,
but when this happens when I'm right in the middle of
something, I now begin to wonder. What makes my text
size grow right in front of my eyes? It goes from medium
size to the largest without any effort from me. What can
I do to stop this? Thanks!

Certain web site can change it.
If you have a scroll mouse, then Ctrl+Scroll can change it.
Email programs can change it as you can see in this standard response:

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.
