Text Has Shrunk? HELP

Options
I am on aol broadband and when I view a page with any text it has shrunk to the point where it is difficult to read without pressing my nose against the screen and squinting.

Any ideas?

Necessity is the plea for every infringement of human freedom. It is the argument of tyrants; it is the creed of slaves

    The quickest way is to hold down the Ctrl key and turn the scroll wheel on your mouse :D

    Depends on what you're using.

    In Firefox it's View / Text size / Normal
    or IE View / Text size / Medium

    Ctrl+0 in firefox

    Ctrl and the mouse scroll can also be used in most office applications to change the zoom.
    If you're feeling down, you must be holding a duck.
