Page > Text Size isn't helping?
Buffy. When I saw you stop the world from, you know, ending, I just assumed that was a big week for you. Turns out I suddenly find myself needing to know the plural of 'apocalypse.'

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
Hm. Page->Text Size in a certain magical combination with Tools->InternetOptions->Accessability->Ignore Specified Fonts might work. I'll fritz around with it more tomorrow.
Thanks, y'all.

All is well that ends in pizza.
Firefox as a browser might help...

You know, it might. I think I had Firefox for a while and liked it, pre-this PC. (PC=Piece of Crap, in this case.) I'll try it. Tomorrow, though. Thanks, Daniel.

1680x1050
Actually, Zenkitty, this is a HUGE screen size setting. It's no wonder all your fonts, icons and other screen objects are microscopic now.
Screw what the manufacturer said were the "optimal settings," they're just trying to show off how cool the toy they sold you is.
I think you'll be much happier if you ignore them and set the screen to a much more reasonable 1024x768 or possibly even smaller setting.
I think that alone will clear up all the problems your having with your groovy new monitor.

Sean, it really depends on the screen. The 20" Cinema Displays I have both run at 1680x1050 and they are the smallest of the ones that Apple currently sells. It looks like a big number, but for a wide aspect ratio screen it's not really all that big.

Yep, that's what mine's set at.
At work, I'm just about the only one (not in the IT) dept who sets my monitor at the recommended resolution, and everyone else's desktop looks HUGE to me.

Do try changing the resolution, Zenkitty. Mine's set lower than the recommended, because the recommended settings make everything too tiny for me.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I have the resolution set at 96 dpi, which it tells me is "normal". When I set the screen size at less than the recommended 1680x1050, the letters weren't clear anymore. I think I'm just going to have to fiddle around with it a bit.
The screen itself is 18.5 x 12 inches, if that tells anyone anything meaningful to my quest.

Goodness that sounds frustrating, ZenKitty!
I have another access question. I am creating a form letter to email to our students. I have most of it down, but I would like to customize the letter with different directions based on what room with class is in. The rooms are stored as numerical values in the field "Location". Basically, I need a expression that means If the Location = 1, then Directions to room 1, If Location = 2, then enter directions to location 2, etc.
I only see, in access how to deal with 2 such variables (If, Else). In Filemaker I could use a function called "case" to do this, but I don't know the equivalent.
