Default text is too large in help screen in Word

I have tried changing the size to 'smallest' in View to no avail;
I have deleted the cookies in IE/Tools/Internet Options/General;
I have deleted the Temporary Internet Files in the above also;
I have restarted my computer after these options; and

THE TEXT IS STILL SO HUGE IT IS UNREADABLE. This happens not just on the MS
site but also on BBC Radio site and others.

PLEASE PLEASE HELP before I throw my new computer into the yard!

You CAN NOT change font size using Internet Options in the Control Panel.
Open IE, even if it's not your default browser and change Text Size in the
View menu to a larger or a smaller one as needed.

When I open a help screen in Word, such as clicking on a topic like

"moving a
file," the help screen opens to a HUGE font on one of my student's

computers.
How can I change it back to the normal size? I am using Word 2003. None

of
the other machines has this particular problem.
