Text Size In Newsgroup Posts

[Guest]

Archived from groups: microsoft.public.windowsxp.customize (More info?)

Recently, when reading newsgroup posts in OE, the text size enlarged
from what original settings were. Started changing various options for
text size, font, encoding, way read & send posts, etc. and now unsure what
default settings were or should be, except that text size was always set to
medium but that is too large now. If change text size to smaller size, text
is
too small. OE Help section and various links no help for this minor issue.

Any suggestions for getting newsgroup post options back to default settings
would be appreciated. OS is XP Pro with SP2 and no other problems.

Mine is on View | Text Size | Smaller

Maybe it's a combination of the font and the size.

To change the font used to display messages

On the Tools menu, click Options, and then click the Read tab.
Click Fonts, and then change the settings.

Tx for reply. Finally figured out why text size much larger.
Had inadvertently changed News font to Arial from default
Times New Roman. Arial being a larger font made text size
rather large at medium setting. View of posts now back to
way originally had it.
