Fonts in VBA Help

[Howard Kaikow]

I guess it has been some time since I needed to look at Help in Office 2003
VBA, or something strange has changed the fonts in VBA Help.

The characters are too small to read.

Is there a way to adjust the size of the fonts used in VBA Help?

Hi Howard,

You can change the font size of HTML help pages in your browser (IE?).

Hi Howard,

Or Ctrl+ScrollWheel might do it if you have a wheeliemousie.

I tried that.
Maybe I didn't do it right.

I was able to change the size by using the mouse wheel..

Ayup, that's what I did.

The problem was likely caused by my installing the Firefox browser recently,
but the problem persisted even after I made IE the default.

I guess I don't know what settings to change in the browser to affect Help.

In MSIE, from the main menu: View, Text Size and choose a relative size
That seems to do it here.

I had tried that, it had no effect.

I expect that having two browsers installed caused some setting to get
munged.

Hmm. I tried it on a Win2K machine with both Opera and MSIE installed.
In a virtual machine with MSIE (5.whatever ... where'd THAT come from, I
wonder?) and Firefox 0.9.1 set as default browser, it still works.

To change the size in Office Help, I had to start MSIE, change the font size
there, quit and then dismiss and restart Help.
