HELP screen font size 1

[jimstarr]

How can I change the font size on the HELP screen? Since installing VFP9 the HELP has appeared in a teeny tiny font. Thanks!

Hi Jim,

For reasons I find hard to understand, the font size in VFP Help is governed by the settings in Internet Explorer.

So, fire up IE, go to View / Text Size, and choose a large size. You might have to exit VFP Help and re-load to see the change.

Thanks, Mike, that did it. I don't use IE and probably never would have figured this out!

For reasons I find hard to understand, the font size in VFP Help is governed by the settings in Internet Explorer.

That's because the part that displays compiled HTML help (CHM) is the webbrowser control. IOW, it's IE -- even if you don't use it otherwise.

Dan,

Yes, I know that. But that doesn't explain why the Help viewer can't have its own user settings.

Re-use. It's a good thing. ;-)
