On my MSN.com homepage, and other sites I get onto, most of the text is very
small and garbled to the point of not readable. Someone told me to erase all
the cookies, but that did not make any difference. What should I do?

Click to expand...

It depends on what version of IE but the same different location for the
View menu.
Click View >> Text Size >> Largest
Larger
* Medium select this or Larger
Smaller
Smallest

Encoding >> Make sure the Western European ( Windows ) Selected

Hit F5 to refresh and close the page then Open again and see if the size
will get better.
HTH.
Let us know.

I do feel kind of stupid now. But changing the text size in the view menu
fixed the problem. Thanks nass!
 
You could've changed the text size accidentally with your mouse wheel.

Normally the mouse wheel does the same thing as the Page Up and Page Down
keys. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express Ctrl + mouse wheel zooms the
Text Size. The same as View | Text Size | Pick a size. Each notch on the
wheel changes to the next Text Size.

I do that by accident all the time. In fact I discovered this by accident
and can't find any documentation on it.

On some mice the wheel acts as a third button. Click the wheel, hold it
down and you can drag the displayed page up and down and depending on the
application, left and right.

In MS Office applications Ctrl + mouse wheel changes the percentage of Zoom.
It zooms in and zooms out.

In Wordpad Ctrl + mouse wheel will also zoom in and out.

In MS Works Spreadsheets and Databases, Ctrl + mouse wheel will also zoom in
and out. The same as View | Zoom | Click the zoom setting you want.

In AutoCAD the wheel zooms without using the Ctrl key. I use the wheel
button and the mouse wheel to navigate around drawings in AutoCAD all the
time.

You are welcome Dick, as Wes elaborate it can happen by moving the Mouse
wheel accidentally.
You can use the Key Combination CTRL + (+) to make it bigger or the CTRL +
( - ) To make the text/Display Smaller.
Thanks for letting us know.
