Answer 5

This is for Internet Explorer or Firefox.

Go up to the top of your internet screen and you'll find a tool bar that says File Edit View History etc.

Click on View.

Go down to Text Size, and adjust it to your liking

Answer 6

If the other solutions don't work try holding the control key and and using the scroll on your mouse. Scroll down to go smaller and up to go larger.

Answer 7

Oh, that sort of happened to me, except the letters were tiny.

I actually think it varies with computers, but what I did was I went to: View -> Text Size -> Medium. You can choose whatever font size you like, but Medium is the usual one.

Hope you can get it back to normal. It annoyed me, too.

Answer 10

There's two things to this.  If the problem is only when you open Internet explorer, then hold CTRL and scroll - that should fix the size of the page.  Or you could follow hkskwa2's wonderful answer.

If the problem is for your entire computer (the start menu and desktop words are too big as well), you need to follow different steps.  I can only help you if you have 2000/2003 or Vista, and I'd need to know which one you have.

Answer 11

hit ctrl and minus at the same time. It steps down one size immediately.

ctrl key and - key at the same time to reduce the type.

Answer 12

hold control and use the center mouse wheel to adjust

Answer 13

do what the other guy said

Answer 14

go to the top left hand corner of your screen and click on "view", then go down to "text size", and it should have an arrow where you can pick your sizes. i would say normal size would be medium.

hope this answers ur question!
