Larger font problem

[Dris]

I am aware I clicked on something yesterday as suddenly my screen became bigger and the font size was larger.
I now cant read my emails properly-well least the end of them and seding them is like typing blind.
Any clues what I clicked and how it can be rectified please?

This is for XP -

1. Go into your Control Panel by first clicking on the Start Button.
2. Then click on the Control Panel icon located in the right column of the Start Menu.
3. If your Start Menu is set to the Classic View, then begin by clicking on the Start Button.
4. Then click on Settings, then click on the Control Panel icon to open up the Control Panel.
5. Now, Double click on the Display icon to open up the Display Properties Window.
6. Then click on the Appearance tab at the top of the screen.
7. At the bottom left side of the screen you will see an area to change the Font Size:
8. Use your mouse to switch between normal, large and extra large according to your preference.
9. Then click on the OK button to save your changes and exit Display Properties window.
10. Windows XP will immediately adjust to your new Font Size without restarting your system.
11. Then close the Control Panel to return back to your Windows Session.

Do you mean font size in everything (desktop icons etc) or font sizes in your browser?

If the first one as above ^

If the latter, hold down CTRL and use the + and - keys to change it.

[ummmm]

Or try Ctrl and - first

Right click on your desktop --->Properties ---> Settings ---> Screen resolution (pull slider across so that it reads 1024 by 768 --->ok
You will probably lose whatever background pic you had, but it's easy to re-set that.

My dad does this on my laptop all the time. It might not be the same on yours but in the bottom right hand corner of my screen, above the clock, it shows you the screen size as a percentage. Just click on the little arrow next to it and change it to 100% or whatever your preffered size is.
