DU screen size too large, must scroll across to read all.
Tried to find solution on my own but nothing will work.

Current screen resolution 1024 X 768. No change needed there.

Tried:
Right click in desktop
properties
settings.
Instructions say to Adjust screen area to normal.
I do not have that option.

Any suggestions?

I don think I have this problem with other sites. Then again, I do not navigate all over the place.
Any thoughts? Thanks

1. Control and - keys.

2. Hi, Just tried your suggestion. I t made the whole screen
smaller including the font size. Should this happen? With one (control-) the font size is too small to read comfortably. The icons at the top of the page are blurred now and the print looks fuzzy. The print on some of the words looks like it overlaps. Spell check shows correct spelling but as I type this, the word 'suggestion' on the subject line looks as though the t and i are on top of each other.

5. Try ctrl + 0
In Firefox anyway, it resets the fonts. Sometimes pages with frames get out of whack with their fonts and frames. Ctrl + 0 should put everything back to normal.

3. Did you accidentally click "Switch to Large Fonts"?
Found at the top left of General Discussion or in the Lounge.

4. It was like that this AM. I went to the store and when I got back,
things were back to normal.

Usually it is me, this time I don't think so.
Thanks for your help help.

6. Sometimes pasted text
or a really long link will cause the page to stretch out sideways so you need to scroll right to read it.
