HELP I accidently pressed some combination of keys on my PC that made website text really big in IE. What did I do??? And how do I fix it??

Not sure what you did to get that, but you could try View-->Text Size to restore the previous size.

View -> Text Size -> Medium

Or buy a bigger monitor and crank up the resolution.

Both are good solutions.

you can hit (CTRL and zero) to get to normal. CTRL+ and CTRL- make the text size bigger and smaller respectively.

Whew, thank you, that did it.

Sometimes I do that by accident b/c holding CTRL and moving the mouse wheel changes the text size.

Wow, nobody made the obvious snark, so for once, I get to be first: Use Firefox.

Wheeeeeee!

Firefox uses much the same commands, so TPS's incompetence would have yielded the same results ;-)
