All my internet text has gone really small !
On some websites I can barely read the text,I know my eyesight isn't what it once was,but this is crazy !
Even as I type this I am having difficulty seeing the text legibly.
Have I inadvently touched something I shouldn't have (or more likely have my kids ) ???

Go to view at the top of the page and find text size. Click it and pick your size.

The other way is to locate the Control(Ctrl) key, bottom corners of the keyboard Hold it down and turn the wheel on the mouse, release when it looks right

Thank you both for your help.
I couldn't find 'view',I know I used to have 'view' but can't find it now !
Anyway did the thing with the mouse and it's now like the text of one of those library books my Grandmother used to read !

Take it back 2 clicks and it is on the medium size

If you were really wanted a magnifying program
There is a built in tool on Windows XP which can do x10 text size

saw another Program which can achieve double that size!

Worth it to someone?

To get "view" back, go up to the top bar. Do you see file, edit, favorites, tools, help? View should be between edit and favorites. If you see either one, rightclick in the area and check "standard buttons" and you should see it. If you see it, click on view and then text size to choose which you want.

Don't get me wrong, I like the text this size !

I have just got AOL9, the favourites are now on the far right of the toolbar and the file/edit buttons are on the far left and I can't right click anywhere.

It is on the Internet Explorer Browser not the AOL Browser
Swap over the browsers by pressing Start and clicking the IE Browser on the Start menu

No font size changes possible on AOL unless on IMs or Email.(double checked in AOL Help)
Copy this into the Run box on the Start button
to see the Magnifier in action %SystemRoot%\system32\magnify.exe XP only

Thanks -- very useful! It seems one never knows what shortcuts are lurking just beneath the fingertips...
