Text Size in IE6

by toddney Sep 30, 2004 11:29PM PDT

Running XP Pro with two users on this desktop. When I go to certain websites with boxes to fill, the text does not fit and I have to scroll right and left to see it all. I thought it was the text size under the "VIEW" button, so I set it to the smallest. That didn't solve the problem. I next thought, "It must be screen resolution!" so I played with that for half a day. No fix there either.

The frustrating thing is that this makes it very difficult to perform my work (mortgage loan officer) in filling in customer information (Mozilla, Opera and Netscape do not work correctly with the website I must use, it's IE only). The confusing thing is that IE6 works fine on my laptop and on the other user's side of this desktop.

Suggestions appreciated!

Re: Text Size in IE6 -- You might try...

Might try "Ignore font sizes on Web pages".

In IE left click on "Tools" >"Internet Options". At the bottom of the General tab left click on "Accessability" and select/check the box beside "Ignore font sizes on Web pages". Then click "OK" >"OK". You may have to restart the computer for the change to take effect.

Still, this does not effect some web pages.

Hope this helps.
