I set my text size to medium, but whenever I surf the
web, the font will change to smallest, so that I can't
even read the damn page anymore. This has been going on
for MONTHS.

I suspect I am accidentally hitting a certain
combination of keys, but I cannot figure out what that
might be. Actually, I'm more interested in keeping the
browser from shrinking the font size than in learning
what keys to press to shrink them.

Basically, my question is, is there any way to KEEP the
text size at medium?

Thanks for your help!

If you have a wheel mouse, you might be shrinking the IE font size
with a combination of (I believe) shift and the wheel.
 
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.

I have Outlook Express. I found International Fonts but
everything is already set to medium, which is what I
want. I'll mess around with it more to see if maybe
there's something I missed. Thanks!
