Size of Web Page

Occasionally a web page will be overly large, so that only a portion of it
is in my Window. Since this is only occasional, I don't want to change my
screen resolution. How do I reduce the size of those pages so that more of
the material does appear in the Window?

Try holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the Mouse Wheel. One
direction makes it bigger, the other smaller.

This is a Windows standard that works in most, but unfortunately not
all, applications.
 
Ken, I should have mentioned that I'm looking for a solution in MSN
Explorer. I know about the Zoom Control in Windows Explorer, but that
doesn't seem to be included in MSN Explorer. I had tried the scroll
technique, but to no avail! Just for insurance, I'm going to also post to
the MSN discussion group.

Get a decent Web browser, such as Firefox or Mozilla, where you can
adjust size in steps with Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus.

Or write to the clueless Webmaster that created a fixed-width output.

Or both.
 
OK, I found my solution. MSN Explorer does have a text size control, in the
VIEW menu, that is page related.

Sorry, I know nothing about MSN explorer and can't help.
 
I thought the 'zoom' thing is more a function of the mouse than a web
browser or operating system.

So it depends on what type of mouse you have. eg Microsoft Intellimouse
(with the scroll button) or other well known brands like Logitech etc.
