| | font size in form boxes/fields Hi there..I just upgraded to a new computer with Vista , IE 7 etc..and I ran across a small problem..and I can't seem to find anything in the "Help" on IE or Vista , so I was wondering if an expert could give me some insight to a solution... ** How do I fix the font size in "boxes" on web pages.. for example the 2 boxes on Google page ..."Google Search" .. "I'm Feeling Lucky" and other small "boxes", like the boxes when you fill in a form online...also...the box where you enter text in the search area When I first started to use IE7 it was fine..then somewhere along the line the size went really small.. Thank you for your help , Al PS even the boxes on the next page..where it is asking for contact information...Al Also ..this does not happen with Firefox!!! |

| | RE: font size in form boxes/fields Try updating your fonts or repairing them. I had this problem, and noticed a lot of my arial fronts were missing, so I replaced them and then the problem went away. Hope this helps.
