IE seems to hate portions of the Microsoft site!

The problem I'm experiencing is that in the office update
site, the support site, and a few of the other microsoft
sections, the text size is freaking huge. we are talking
probably like 96 pt font. things i've tried checking are
office xp sp3, xpsp2, and a general windows update. i'm
quite sure it's not a problem on the server end because i'm
using a copy of firefox to get access to the forums and it
displays wonderfully. any suggestions would be
appreciated. this is for a guy i work with, otherwise i'd
just convert him to firefox completely, but he's used to
ie, you know how it is.

thanks much!

This happens sometimes when you have accessibility options activated, for
example Magnifier.
Open Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu, then choose Internet Options.
Click the Accessibility button.

There are two entries:
"Ignore font style on web pages" and
"Ignore font size on web pages".
Try changing these settings (put a check there if there isn't one now, or remove
the check if there is one).
Try the site again.
