Default How do I fix this?

This morning while reading HD Forums I hit a certain keystroke combination by mistake and made my font size smaller. A lot smaller. I can still read the type, but it's hard on my old peepers. I've already tried changing the font size in internet option and accessibility. No joy. Any ideas?

is it just your font or the entire browser? If its your entire browser, look in the bottom right hand corner of your screen, you'll see a precentage with a drop downnext to it. If its less than 100%, click on the drop down and adjust accordingly.

Try hitting the "+" while holding down the control key. I did the same thing and my kid had to show me that.

Control and scroll your scroll mouse button

that is if everything on the website got smaller

Look in the bottom right corner of your internet explorer it should show a magnifying glass with a + sign in it and a percentage number next to it

What operating system and web browser? Vista? My Internet explorer has a tool bar at the top which has a page tab ---click on that and look down it to find zoom level. That will make changes in page and font size. I also have a 100% tab on a bottom tab of my web page which is a quick reference to the page zoom size. Missed key strokes seem to change the page size on my web browser and that usually is what the mouse was over when I knuckled dragged the keyboard. If that ain't it then there are other things to try.
