    Press [Ctrl]+[0] on your keyboard. Alternatively, go to PageZoom and select 100%.

    Along the top menu bar in IE there'll be a button marked Page.

    That will give you options to fix your Zoom and also your Text Size which I suspect is the more likely cause of the problem.

    when i press view, there is no zoom option in the drop down list..

    also there is no "page" button at the top of the screen, just "file, edit, view, fav, tools, help"

    but strangely the problem seems to have sorted itself out or by me pressing buttons its been fixed?!

    strange!

    but thanks for your help...

    Hold down the CTRL key then scroll the wheel on your mouse... Magic.
