I've been using this for years, but suddenly the Microsoft Excel Help window
that pops up after selecting a help topic has a teeny font I can't read. How
did it suddenly shrink? Or, more importantly, how do I restore it to a
reasonable font size? I'm using some features that are new to me, and I
really would like to be able to read the help!

Do you have a mouse with a scroll wheel? If you hold down the CTRL key on
your keyboard, and then move the scroll wheel, it will zoom in/out on the
page you're viewing.

Thanks. That is useful to know. It works fine in Excel itself, so I guess I'm
doing it right, but it has no effect in the Help box. :(

Hey JeanneG,

I see that I am not the only one with this problem!

Anyone else with this problem? Let us know/

Any one from Microsoft out there, know what is going on? Or anyone
else, for that matter, feel free to give us your opinion.

We sure could use some help on this issue.

Thanks for taking a look at this issue.
