I have read all those suggested articles. I have done what they
suggest...nothing works except to uncheck "ignore font sizes..." then web
print is too small sometimes. I have a cordless Logitech mouse and have used
the scrool method...as you say...it sometimes does not work and tends to be
erratic when it does. Maybe in the future I will consider Firefox....will
that REALLY work, though????
Thank you....

A simple workaround for your problem would be uncheck the "ignore font size"
and then invest in a mouse with a scrolling wheel. Once you have one
installed, click on the page you wish to view, and then hold the Ctrl key
and move the scrolling wheel. The text will change size rapidly and then
the change can be easily reversed.

Unfortunately, this often fails to work. When web pages are coded for
text in fixed sizes, the mouse wheel technique has no effect on the
display, nor does using View Text Size. The only thing that works is
checking "ignore font size" -- or switchings to Firefox.

The advent of style sheets has lead to an astonishing number of web pages
that are ugly and difficult to view unless you have exactly the same
equipment and settings as the creator of the page. In a perfect would it
would be illegal to specify font sizes in pixels.

I have no idea as to whether Firefox does things differently or not. You'd
have to ask that question of someone who uses the product.

Firefox does work differently in this regard. It allows the user to
adjust the font size even when it's hard-coded, using either Ctrl + and
Ctrl - or the Ctrl plus mouse wheeel technique. You can install Firefox
to try it out without maling it the default browser or interfering with
the use of IE.

Thank you for your replies. I am not sure I know enough to have two browers,
but will certainly check into Firefox and think about your suggestion, Gary
Smith.
Thank you.
