text resizing

Why do I always have to resize text from Tools when I return to IE after
either closing it or shutting down my computer? This also happens in Comcast
mail even if I've already resized the text in IE. Is there any fix for this
little annoying problem? Thanks.

Normally the mouse wheel does the same thing as the Page Up and Page Down
keys. In Internet Explorer and Outlook Express Ctrl + mouse wheel zooms the
Text Size. The same as View | Text Size | Pick a size. Each notch on the
wheel changes to the next Text Size.

I do that by accident all the time. In fact I discovered this by accident
and can't find any documentation on it.

On some mice the wheel acts as a third button. Click the wheel, hold it
down and you can drag the displayed page up and down and depending on the
application, left and right.

In MS Office apps Ctrl + mouse wheel changes the percentage of Zoom. It
zooms in and zooms out.

In AutoCAD the wheel zooms without using the Ctrl key. I use the wheel
button and the mouse wheel to navigate around drawings in AutoCAD all the
time.

Just a quick addition here, for those who may not realize it. This works,
not only only ion IE and OE, but in many Windows apps. In most word
processors, for example.
