text is too large in help screen in Word
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. |

The text size in Word's HTML help files is governed by the text size
selected in your browser. -- Suzanne S.

Thanks, this helped. I just needed some direction in how to specifically
change the text size. "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: The text size in Word's HTML help files is governed by the text size selected in your browser. -- Suzanne S.

This is for all of us Windows-challenged Unix and/or Mac users:
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.

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 might look at Control Panel | Accessibility Options to see if you have
any relevant options selected (though I suspect you'd have noticed these in other situations). Similarly, your screen resolution might be a factor. -- Suzanne S.

text is too large in help screen in Word
I went to IE/Internet Options/Accessibility and checked the boxes for Ignore
Website Settings and Use Own Formats (or something like that). It has worked for me, although you may need to alter the text through View/Text Size for some sites, and change it back again. BUT IT WORKS AND QUITE FRANKLY THAT'S ALL I CARE ABOUT! "Willard" wrote: I have exactly the same problem The text is so huge it is impossible to read it "Suzanne S.
