Whenever I use OE Help, the fonts are too small. I use Large Fonts in
my Display Properties. I even tried extra large fonts, but it does not
make Help larger. Also Windows XP Support & Help are too small. I
sure would like help making them larger. I even tried IE's Option in
Accesibility "ignore font sizes . .", but that does not help this
problem. Any suggestions please?

The Help system does it's own thing. So if you can get the Windows XP
Support & Help font to change, that will probably also fix the OE help.

In the Windows XP Support & Help there is an Option setting to change
the font size. But I tried that and it seemed to change the spacing but
not the actual font size.

I suggest that you post in the Windows XP newsgroup and see if they have
any ideas on the help system fonts.

If you have scroll wheel mouse, click one in the open help window, then hold down the Ctrl key and
roll the scroll mouse. This will increase or decrease the font size depending on which way you roll
the wheel.

Sometimes with large help pages or just help pages I want to keep open
what I do is copy the filename from right-click Properties and open it
in an IE window. Hint: doubleclick on the Address (URL): field
and use Ctrl-a,Ctrl-c to get it into the Clipboard then switch to
an IE window and enter Ctrl-o,Ctrl-v,Enter

For some strange reason the page is seen by IE as not having
any particular font so you can do just about anything you want
with it from there. E.g. press Alt-V,x,g to see it using IE's Largest
text size.
