I have a problem with the help functions. When displaying the MS help info the contents are displayed fine but the help instructions are in a tiny font that is mostly illegible. I have tried to find an expand option but have failed to do this

Any help would be appreciate

Kind regards

You need to adjust this in Internet Explorer. click on view, Text Size, then
select the text size your most comfortable with.

Hi

I have a problem with the help functions. When displaying the MS help info the
contents are displayed fine but the help instructions are in a tiny font that is
mostly illegible. I have tried to find an expand option but have failed to do
this.

Any help would be appreciated

Kind regards

In addition to Michael's suggestion, if you have a wheel mouse, hold down the
Ctrl key while you turn the wheel. That'll make the text get larger or smaller
in MSIE and in most apps based on MSIE, like Microsoft's help system.

(does anybody know if there's a magic keyboard combo that can do this with a
non-scrollwheel mouse?)
 
I was going to suggest that. But I discovered that when you scroll, it will only
scroll to the highest level that you have set in IE. At least that is all I can
get out of mine.

Odd. Which version of PPT and MSIE? With XP and MSIE6, the two seem to ignore
one another.
 
Win 98, IE6, PowerPoint 2002. I my case, might have something to do with the
font settings in my Control Panel Display settings, font size. Works like you
said on my laptop XP, IE6, PowerPoint 2003

Ah me. Too many options. Nuts, isn't it?
 
Tis the truth.
