Hi. Can anyone tell me how to wrap lines of type that I've enlarged
for easier reading so that the lines don't run off the page? When I
blow up type in IE above 120%, the lines run off the page and I have
to use a scroll bar at the bottom to read them.

Is there a solution.

Thanks,
Dave

Hi,
If you're using the zoom feature of IE7, I don't think you can avoid
horizontal scrolling.

IE> View> Text Size will enlarge text while still allowing wrapping.

If you enlarge text with Ctrl+mouse wheel, you may be able to get larger
text than listed in View> Text Size.

Hope this helps,

Hi. Thanks. I do use CTRL-mouse wheel to alter the type size, but that
causes the scrolling problem. Using View-Text Size only give you a
couple of text-size options.

Hi,
Sorry, I don't know of a solution for this. It's normal behavior for IE7.

You might give Firefox a try. It does a better job of wrapping enlarged
text.
