DA... thanks. That works at least for one test. So dose Control +/- on the active text. Strange that "Compose" doesn't affect font size while Display does. Seem either or both could be the needed function - but when composing it is Display that determines the font size. I'll Google for the pain size. Sorry to put you to that extra work/test but when I can't figure out some computer question my first thought is gardenweb/computer... not Google/Web.

Are you referring to Notepad (click Start/All programs/Accessories/Notepad)? If so and a fix is not offered here you could visit How-to Geek and select a free text editor from those listed there.

Just another comment on computer use and glasses. If you wear bifocals or progressives, it's important to buy computer glasses. If you don't, and use your regular progressives to work at the computer, you will be holding your neck at an unnatural angle, and there is research that shows that can cause permanent damage to the neck over time. For the progressive wearer, computer glasses would be designed so that the bottom of the glasses are for close work, and the upper part is formulated for computer screen distance. The brand Compuvue makes lenses that are just amazing--NO side distortion (like you get with regular progressives). Luckily, my dd is an optician and keeps me both informed and supplied with the best eyecare solutions. It's really important, though, that if you do a lot of computer work, that you discuss your corrections with your opthalmologist or qualified optician (not all opticians are licensed, in all states) and get the proper correction for your needs. One pair of glasses may not be enough to handle all your activities properly. And considering the cost of medical treatment, to me it IS a money-saving tip to have the best eye correction possible.

Hello Mikie, I am so sorry for not replying, For some reason I thought I'd be notified by email if there were any replies and when I didn't receive a notice, I just forgot, Well, you were 100% correct. That was/is exactly what is happening. I clicked the spyglass and sure enough it said "200" so everytime it happens, and yes it still does, I just click "100" and it's back to normal. Thanks so much for your reply,. Barbb
