Lesley...have you tried going to the Help at the top and typing text size into search? I am on Windows XP and use Internet Explorer. What about you? Also for GR if you look at the left of the screen on the green GR bit there is an option re Text too small? which tells you how to change text size on GR... Dee x

Buy the kids their own PC, tell them if they mess it up they must fix it! That'll learn 'em. But is it something to do with "View", "Text Size" ? That is the most simple thing they could have done. If not it could be a right click og the blank desktop, properties, settings and then resolution, try 800X600. Or appearance, scheme, some include large fonts. I could fix it if I was there!

Go to view at the top left of your screen. On the drop down menu you will see text size...just choose the text size you prefer from there. Dee x
