Ok,
so I had some sort of weird crash the other day. It basically unhooked most of my USB function. Anyway, it led me to a Win98SE reinstall and, oddly, it caused my font size in IE to bump down to 10 point. Readable, but headachingly small.
So I updated to IE 6, mainly for the hell of it and found now change. I've looked through the various options in IE but can't find anything to change font size.
Any ideas?

View > Text Size

Ah yes. For some reason I was stuck on Tools > Fonts and didn't even consider View an option.
Thanks man,

Also (a little known shortcut) CTRL + Mouse Wheel (assuming you have one). Resizes all your IE text up or down.

Interesting Ben, maybe that's what happened. During that crash I was pressing CTRL/ALT/DEL to get out of it and clicking things...

I hate that shortcut, I don't know how many times I did that before realizing the cause. Kept thinking my browser was acting up.

Agreed...that's a funky one that caught me off guard a couple times before I realized purely by accident that key and mouse combo was changing text size.

One of the mags -- CGM, I think -- ran a little teensy, tiny blurb about what you can do with the mouse wheel and certain key combinations that you probably didn't know about. They talked about this, and some other -- Shift + MW UP and Down result in FWD and Back in your browser, for example...Cool stuff.
