Why has the text on my computer changed to smaller, when I haven't touched a thing?

Question

After the problem occurred, I clicked on view and went to text size and selected "Larger" and it still doesn't look right.

Answer 1

If you hold down (CTRL) and roll your mouse wheel, it will change your text size, this is probably what happened, just roll it the other way to change it back.

Answer 2

You didn't touch a thing? ok.......MARTIANS DID IT

Answer 3

Mine has done that too, except my text gets bigger. It took me forever to figure out how to fix it. I have no idea what caused it. Try text size medium, that is what worked for me.

Answer 4

Ugh, I hate it when that happens! Do you have a mouse with a roller inbetween the buttons? If you hit control and scroll with it at the same time it'll change the font size, and it happens accidentally a lot, like if you highlight something and CTRL+C it. Text is normally set on 'medium', so try that setting.

Answer 5

The same thing happened to me on other things like email, etc.  On here it is still big.  Is it possible that we are so used to it here that the others look smaller?  That is all I can come up with.  I like the size and the style of this print.

Answer 6

Can't explain why but it does from time to time had to change to a bold tyrpe then resize to get it right ..they are working on Q/A to day so just wate it out

Answer 7

Maybe someone else changed it.

Answer 8

ok you probably have a MOUSE WHEEL on your mouse (its the thing in the middle of the left and right bottons of your mouse and it spins and usually have a clicking function)

ok hold CTRL (its under the SHIFT key its shouldnt be too hard to find thers on left and one on the right it doesnt matter with one you click)

while holding down CTRL rotate your mouse wheel until your happy with the size of text

Answer 9

you might have accidentally clicked something wrong or pressed a wrong key...try ctrl++
