I select View->Text Size->Smallest on all my browser windows.
At some later time, Text Size reverts to medium. I'm not
sure when this happens.

Why does it revert, and how can I keep it as I want it?

I can find no option for setting the default text size.

One reason that I want a small text size is so that my
print-outs (of web pages and also messages in Outlook
Express, which uses the IE text size, not the OE setting)
will have less truncation on the right side of the page
and fit on fewer pages. Any additional suggestions along
those lines would be appreciated.

Thanks in advance.
 
Reboot and make sure that only Explorer, systray and IE are active.
If the settings are maintained then some other program(s) is the cause.

From Alan Edwards:

If 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_USERS\.Default\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.
