This is awful! I had asked KT if I should download the new IE8 and she suggested it was probably alright but now that I have, I cant change text size here. I even went to a website that has older versions of Internet Explorer and tried to install IE7 and it wouldnt let me. So, now what do i do? I wish i had just left it alone!

Jackie, your computer is using IE 8 in its "standard mode" format.

To enable compatibility mode you can simply press the torn page icon next to the refresh button on the toolbar. Hope that helps!

Jackie, all you need to do is type your message, right click (select all) then you can change anything you want, size,font style, whatever!

When one is using 'IE 8' without the 'compatibility mode' engaged, none of the WYSIWYG options (the font and paragraph and URL options you see across the top of your message box) are available. So highlighting the entire text in the box is a wasted effort.


But Jackie took her system back to IE 7 and is running fine with that!!
