Font size help!!! (please) - sm


Posted: Apr 29, 2010

This isn't directly related to MT, but is in a round-about way.  I've done something to cause my font size in certain areas to be smaller, and it's driving me crazy!  I don't know how to describe exactly where it is happening, but it is the font at the top of the tabs in IE, in the side menu (listing my mail folders) in my Outlook mail, the font in Word at the top of the page (toolbar and file, edit, view, etc.), in some message boxes, etc. 

It seems really random to me, but I'm technically challenged.  Any ideas?  Tried changing properties, appearance, etc., but I can't see how to change just this specific area, nor would I know how it was even classified in advanced appearance (i.e. toolbar, message box, border, etc.) .  Help please!    

Open Internet Explorer and drop down the View menu. - SM

Click on the Text option and change your font size there. The setting here can affect your other programs.

Do I have to restart? I tried changed it but don't - see a difference. nm

Try this - sm

Hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel on your mouse - down (to enlarge) or up (to make smaller).

See if that fixes what you need.

I guess you have to set the appearance to "original default" - font

maybe you can figure it out.

Maybe this helps:

click on:
Start
control panel
display
appearance
under font size click "large font"
click o.k.

How To Change Font Size In Epic ???
Oct 05, 2012

Working in Enterprise. My account just switched to Epic and the font size is very tiny.  I've noticed that in the task bar right above where we enter the transcription that there are two buttons to click on, one for font and one for size.  When clicking on them, different selections are offered (i.e., font size #s 1 through approximately 8) but nothing happens when I click on a # to try to make a change.  Any ideas?  I looked at the Pre ...

There is an alarming increase in complaints regarding moderation on MTStars boards recently, but please remember: moderators are people too. They sometimes make mistakes and/or have temporary lapses in judgement. Just because they were harsh with you once or made a bad decision that you disagree with doesn't mean that they're bad moderators, that they'll hold a grudge against you, or even that they'll make the same decision a second time. To make moderation more transparent, ...

I know we are to drop the zero after a decimal when doing lab values, i.e. "hemoglobin was seven point zero" is just written as "hemoglobin was 7", but do you drop the zero after sizes, i.e. "Taxus three point O by twelve mm drug-eluting stent" - is that written 3.0 x 12-mm or 3 x 12-mm?  I never can get this straight...any input would be helpful.
