Hold down the Ctrl key and press the + key. Press the - key to make it smaller. Or you can hold down the Ctrl key and turn the mouse wheel.

Or in Firefox:

Open browser to Garden Web>Tools>Options>Content tab>Select the size font you wish (18 is default)>OK. GW will then be in the new size with other sites remaining at default.

I know I sound like a broken record, but overlapping bloom time is the key and you don't have to have another dentatum (but that's good), you could have something else. My solo Blue Muffin is planted near my three mapleleaf viburnums (Viburnum acerifolium)and they have cross pollinated each other for the last two years because they bloom at the same time. So v. dentatum and V. acerifolium might both give you those overlapping bloom times. And they might not, you just have to plant them and see. They might need one year to sync up in bloom times, so don't be disappointed the first year. I happen to love viburnums (and the thought of making berries for birds), so I say the more the merrier!

Did the font get smaller?

Looks the same to me. Do you have a scroll wheel on your mouse? While holding down the Ctrl key, slowly turn you scroll wheel. One way makes the font larger, the other way makes it smaller. Maybe that will help.

XP here when I right click an empty area of the menu bar, the popup has an option to customize the command bar/add remove components. One of the options then is Size.. If I add that then I can choose text size and it sticks even after reboots.

Are bathroom cabinets getting larger?
Q
Comments (5)
Yes. They are getting taller, deeper, and I've noticed the standard widths are larger. I live in a 1970s home and the double sink vanity in the bathroom is about 62" wide which is sufficient for two sinks and works quite well. Most vanities I've found (when researching for an eventual remodel) are 72" wide for a double vanity and most 60-62" vanities are single sink. When I replaced the vanity in my main/guest bathroom, I opted for one the same width as the current one, but it is taller and I was barely able to squeeze it into the room after taking off the door and door jambs, due to the extra depth.

...or get the NoSquint add-on for your Firefox browser and you can set the optimum size (text and images) for every site you visit. In addition, it will automatically remember when you revisit a site so you only have to set it once.

Here is a link that might be useful: NoSquint

That's the key. Just hold down the Ctrl key and press that key, You don't have to worry about the shift key, just Ctrl and the one with the + and = signs.

Or, while on a webpage, hold the control button down and rotate the wheel on your mouse, up or down

I just had the same problem as Minnie. I haven't downloaded any new programs. I did the control/mousewheel trick and all is good now.
Can someone tell me what made all my pages and print go small for no apparent reason?

Who knows? I have had it happen, too. Chalk it up to Gremlins. Here's an off topic story. I use a Novatel MiFi device to connect to the Internet through 3G service. Suddenly, last evening, after a brief thunderstorm, the color of the on/off button has changed from bright green to bright blue. Go figure.

you did not mention if this is xp or windows 7 but doing a real quick system restore to the day before it happened might fix it and it won't hurt anything. here are the directions for xp.
System Restore, accessible by clicking [Start] [All Programs] [Accessories] [System Tools] [System Restore].
then Choose from the bulleted options on the right you want to restore your computer to an earlier time.
The calendar on the left will have dates in bold. Selecting a day will show the restore points available for that date in the breakout to the right of the calendar. Select the restore point you want and click This would be the day before your fonts changed. Then click next to restore your computer to the earlier date and time. Your pc will reboot just leave it alone let it do it's thing. That is it you are done.
very very easy to do and all it does is put your settings back as they were on that date.

If you are using something other than xp let us know so we can give you the appropriate instructions.
