I'm not sure if my description is good enough but here goes.

I'm trying to read a company's page in my WinXP Pro's browser but am having trouble seeing their whole page. I have an Acer monitor. It is only a couple of years old. It's size is more long than high.

I have moved and stretched out my browser until I can see almost but not all links in the listings of this company's page, but that is as far as I can go. Do you know of a way I can shrink my browsers overall text or size so I can see more of anyone's page? Maybe that would work on my new monitor.

This company's page does not have a slider bar on the side with the link listings. It would help if they did. I will send them an email to see if they would add one.

Any help you can give me will be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.
 
Almost as soon as I sent this in I went through the browser's settings and found out how to shrink the screen and text.

So if anyone else is interested:
On top of the browser (WinXP Pro Internet Explorer) Go to Page
Text, and changes settings to smaller
Then Page again
Zoom and change to 75%

This fixed it for me, I hope it helps someone else.

No need to email me on this since I figured it out.
 
You can also look at the Monitors display resolution and see if you can increase it by a bit if you are under the default size.
 
Can you pop the companies address here. I have a widescreen monitor and have no problem with web pages (apart from a lot of scrolling up and down).
Sound more of a monitor issue than a website issue
