Change font size of Help screens

[hmm]

Recently, all Office Help screens displayed smaller-sized fonts. I can't say
for sure that I didn't do something to change it; does anyone know how I can
re-enlarge the Help screen fonts?

Hold Ctrl and use the wheel on your mouse to 'scroll' the font to a larger
size or in the Internet Explorer, change the text size to a large size.

Thanks Beth. Unfortunately, holding Ctrl and scrolling the mouse wheel did
not do anything. Perhaps I should have told you: I am using Office 2000 (9.0
3821 SR-1). Does that help?

The help files in Office 2000 are HTML based and Internet Explorer's engine is used to display them. If you're in IE see if
changing the IE setttings for View=>Text Size (Alt, V, X) changes your Office 2000 help file display size.

Thanks Bob. That did the trick, albeit in a roundabout fashion: I changed
the size from medium to larger, but then the fonts in IE (in this forum) were
too large. I then changed them back to medium, and then all fonts were
appropriately sized.
