A curious thing is happening lately to this WXP-SP2 machine when visiting
Microsoft Office Web pages like:
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/FX012225041033.aspx



Everything on the page is grossly oversized (the "M" of Microsoft is 4 1/8"
tall, and View/Text Size/Smallest only reduces it to 2 1/4"). It only
happens with pages beginning with http://office.

Return to the page. Then press Ctrl and move the scroll wheel on the mouse
to resize the text.

This happens sometimes when you have accessibility options activated, for example Magnifier.
Open Internet Explorer and go to the Tools menu, then choose Internet Options.
Click the Accessibility button.
There are two entries:
"Ignore font style on web pages" and
"Ignore font size on web pages".
Try changing these settings (put a check there if there isn't one now, or remove the check if there
is one).
Try the site again.


Huge fonts on certain web pages :-

Control Panel/Accessibility/Display/
Ensure box is not check - then click "Advanced"
Ensure shortcut box is not clicked AND
where it reads" Your current high contrast scheme is:"
Make sure there is nothing in there that starts with "high contrast" or suggests a large font size"
