What browser are you using? I tried to change the text size in IE

the View-Text Size menu selection, but it had no effect.

Using Firefox, however, the View-Zoom commands work just fine to
enlarge or decrease the text size.

That's because MS makes it difficult to enable; I prefer Firefox
anyway, especially since it has all of those great extensions to kill
ads and popups like Adblocker and NoScript....

In IE, go to: Tools - internet options - the "General" tab - at the
bottom, Appearance - click the Accessibility button - check "ignore
font sizes specified on webpages"- then "OK" your way out. Whew, those
guys at MS really want you to work at this!

Now your Text Size command will work.

Wow! Who would ever have guessed? You are right, and thanks. Why it
wouldn't be a default remains a mystery. It seems there's a lesson to be
learned he drill down through all the menus, no matter how obscure
they look.
