    Lately SOME of my Internet Explorer Browser pages have been displaying text extremely LARGE or extremely SMALL. Most pages are normal, but since I have never had this problem before, I assume something has changed to cause the wrong font sizes. Does anyone know what could cause this?

    Try this
    With your mouse it is possible to zoom in and out of a web page. This setting stays until you zoom it back in or out.
    The text on a web site becomes suddenly unreadable or too big.
    To fix this you need to press and hold ctrl on your keyboard while you scroll up or down with the center scroll wheel on your mouse.

    Welcome to MajorGeeks.

    Only have 1 Internet Explorer window open, then go to View, text size and choose your setting. (Or the suggestion by jujet84 if it works with your meece)

    If you have other IE windows open, the setting won't be global.

    Or get yourself a copy of Firefox and then ctrl plus makes text bigger, ctrl minus makes it smaller. Very easy.

    Not everyone wants to use FireFox, and Internet Explorer and Opera all have the ability to change text size.
