strange font size change

I am running windows XP home edition. A very strange thing has happened -- I am running my display at 1280 X 1024. Have been for over a month. Today, it seems that the font size in Internet Explorer is huge! Much larger than ever before. I have made no changes and no one else has been on the machine. I have checked every possible setting in both display properties and Internet options, and accessiblity -- I cannot find anything that changes the font back to normal. Any thoughts?

Get this -- I figured out by doing a google search -- I have a logitech trackman -- in XP if you hold down the ctrl key and scroll on the wheel the font size changes! I must have done this by accident -- sure enough when I did this, I got my font back to normal size!

Same thing will happen if you have the Intellimouse w/wheel. Hold down the control key and turn the wheel.

Victor, my grandchildren were playing on my computer and now my font is big and I have tried the control key and rolling the wheel but that does nothing. Did you get yours adjusted back properly? Any suggestions of where to get an answer for this?
