Thank you for that. Sadly, I already matched each setting, and cleared
history and cache and restarted, but it's still bad :(

In internet explorer (assume you are using that) go into tools=Internet
options. Under the general tab, at the bottom of the dialog are 4 buttons.
color, font, language, accessibility.

Under accessibility, make sure nothing is checked. Look at color - for me
it has use windows colors checked in the colors frame. Look at font as
well - mine has Latin, times new roman (on the left) and courier new (on the
right).

You also might want to hit the delete files button and clear history.

First, a plea for off-topic amnesty - I hope I've earned it.
Moreover, the objective here is to be a better RTFMer as opposed to
making all of you do all my Excel programming work :)

The past week or so the main text of every KB article - e.g.
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;EN-US;245115
shows up in a tiny gray font similar to a disabled button. All paragraph
headings look fine and the other boxes and colored areas are fine.

I know zilch about HTML but I can say that there is usually nothing
remarkable (like <font or whatever) preceding the point at which the
text craps out. I was told that perhaps MS style sheets have changed
but I have no idea about that;I've had the problem in non-MS pages too.

I don't recall doing anything to my system to cause this, but I'm hoping
that one of you can scold me that I did. Since the esteemed
participants here are big users of KB I figured this might be a good
place to pose the question.
