My writing and page has gone massive

Hi people,
Kids been on the pc tonight and all the writing and pages have gone massive, any ideas which buttons to press to get it back to normal, Tried tools, internet options, accessability, dont know what it does but it didnt change, tried changing the font size but that didnt make the pages normal, its like when you put pc in safe mode, everything is magnified.

    what program is magnified, and what PC are you useing there are a few ideas to try.

    Find Zoom in the top menu
    Some laptops have multi touch pad with the massive page open and focused put 2 fingers on the touch pad spread apart and while touching the pad pull your fingers together.

    Bottom right hand corner of the page just above the clock will say something like 150% with a small pick of a magnifying glass....?. Click on the little black arrow and put it back to 100%....

    Hold down CTRL (Don't worry about it falling off - there should be 2 of them, one at either end) and press the minus key (next to 0 and above P on the keyboard). To make bigger, do the same but press the ''+" key next to the minus.
  • Well Sweep9 I've learned something tonight. Thank you

    Same as I learnt the cut, copy, paste keys and other keyboard shortcuts by remembering these...

    Ctrl - X is cut - X looks like a pair of scissors
    Ctrl - C is copy - C stands for Copy
    Ctrl - V is paste - The V looks like the end of a paste bottle

    Ctrl - Z is undo - The Z looks like when you "scribble" something out
    Ctrl - Y is redo - "Y", I pressed "Z" too many times!

    Ctrl - A is Select All - I want it "A"ll!

    There are more... but I think 6 is enough for now
