Dunno what I done, but for a couple of minutes the wheel on my mouse decided to
magnify or shrink the text on this site. Instead of scrolling it up and down as it normally does.

All the other sites I visit are okay, IE. normal size.
Trouble is I cannot get it back to normal size, Any ideas as to how to return the text to its
to normal size would be greatly apprieciated, I'v run out of ideas !...

May be wrong, but if you go into control panel under display the a tab for "appearence". In that theres a drop down tab for Scheme. Click that and set to standard windows default.

On XP there is the ability to change standard text size, You can do this by going to View in the top bar of Internet Explorer and selecting text size then the size you want.

There is however a short cut, and by holding down the CTRL key, you can use the mouse wheel to increase or decrease font size. I suspect your CTRL key on the keyboard was stuck down

Yes you are quite correct Brendon, only just found out this evening about the shortcut,
seems like I might possibly have had a finger or thumb resting on the CTRL key, DOH.

If you come across a post you disagree with, it's a great way of cutting them down to size ;)
