I have the following problem with the pc I have at home. While I am typing something in the reply window as I do right now, the fonts appear so tiny that I can barely see them.

When I use the "preview reply" function the fonts appear pretty well but those tiny fonts in the reply window are really annoying. I feel that my glasses are not enough and I need binoculars to follow my post.

I tried to enlarge them by the View/Text size on the Explorer bar but it doesn't affect what I am typing.

In my office's pc though, the letters are perfect although the screen size is the same with the one I have at home.

Do you know if is it possible to fix it?

Thank you

Do you have a wheel on your mouse?

If you hold CTRL and turn the wheel, the text size get larger or smaller.

I don't know how to do that without a wheel mouse though . . .

Try this: Click Tools-> Internet Options. Under the General tab, click the Accessibility button at the bottom and tick the box in front of "Ignore font sizes specified on web pages" in the pop up box. Click OK and see what happens.

What is your monitor size and resolution?
Is it the same in your office's pc?
