I'm running at 1600 x 1200 and the text is too small in IE6. I've selected View>text size> argest and it's still too small. Is there a way to make "Largest" bigger?

Thanks in adavance.

you can try using your own custom style sheet, and setting:

body { font-size: 28pt;}

or you can try

body { font-size: 2.5em;}

or

body { font-size: 250%;}

Play around and see what gives you the results you like best.

btw, you set it by putting that 'body' line in a text file, then going Tools->Internet Options->General Tab->(bottom right) Accesability -> check off "format documents using my style sheet" -> browse to that text file you made.

Hold down control and move your mouse wheel back and forth slowly. That will enlarge/shrink the text.

Bart...thanks.
I create the style sheet in notepad and save as a .css file or .txt?

Eagle, the biggest font size offerd by IE6 "largest" is not big enough. thats as high as you can wheel to.

eklass..."lower your resolution"
not an option. Who do these monitors go to high resolutions when ie6 is back in the dark ages?
