Actually I am pretty confident that CHM requires that IE be installed on the machine.  The CHM engine is dependent upon IE and does not really respect other engines as a whole. 

Might be that Firefox is my default browser. I think that means chms are hosted there ?



That might be the difference. I haven't used IE since I found Firefox.

I think part of that depends upon the verion of IE you are using (since CHM files are hosted within IE).  I know that on my development machine, the Ctrl+mouse wheel does not work within a CHM file, but it does work within IE by itself.  It's good to know that it works on your machine, Charles; it's certainly worth it for everyone to give it a try before attempting the other methods mentioned in this thread.

Just discovered you can hold down the CTRL and use the mousewheel to zoom textsize in the text area of CHM files. Works great in strataframe help with no exporting etc necessary

Hi Alex -



Good to see you here ! Just registed myself on 4/12



posted this link for you in the wrong thread ( Help to PDF ) a few minutes ago (think I had the print set too small :-)

Alex,

The solution that Ben provided earlier is going to be your only option.  Increasing the font size within the help file really is not a solution.  We use the same font size that all other major entities (including Microsoft) use for help production and creation.  The Ctrl + scroll is really going to be the only option to manipulate the font size.  Thanks.

Oops, just discovered that the Internet Options adjustment affects all Browser sessions (naturally) and pasting address in IE and resizing text is not very practical.  So unless another way way exists, the enhancement request stands.

Thank you.

Alex

Hiya.

I uploaded the picture. Go to Control Panel, up there on this page. On the left you will find "Your Profile", "Edit Personal Photo". Then just Upload your picture.

Hey Ivan, thanks for the response.

The solution suggested by Ben did the trick.

Nice to find you here.  How did you bring the photo from the UT?

Alex

Bingo!    Thank you very much.
