Small' minute' text

[Lincslass]

Yesterday I pressed something whih has made the text and everything else so small, I can hardly read it. In fact I can hardly read this post. How do I get the text back to normal size. That assuming I will be able to read any replies.

Many thanks in advance

I am always doing that.     If you are on IE  Go to View at the top of the page and select Zoom, then 100%.

I can change text size in XP by pressing "Crtl" and "+" or "-", simultaneously.

Another "I did something or other and don't know what" occurence that often happens is when you are fiddling with the mouse scroll-wheel (as one does  ) and don't notice that you have accidently got a finger (or book, or something) on the Ctrl-key .....

.... then the text can get bigger or smaller

That must be what I do

Well I have vista but remember pressing the ctrl and "-" key and the text went miniscule. Future trys have produced that ctrl and "+" make the text larger. So seems to work for Vista or XP. Just for future reference BTW, the procedure can be repeated to enhance or reduce the font. Thanks for the assistance.
