Go to Settings, Add Remove Programs and delete IE8. The version 7 will then reinstall. Changing the zoom factor in Word does not help. Changing fonts in Outlook makes a lot of mess, so just erase IE8. IE8 have several other bugs as well, so wait for the final version.     Was this post helpful to you?         Reply |   Top           Chris Rodriguez 1/19/2009 1:51 PM PST   THANK YOU!!!!!

It started on me this morning out of nowhere. I have no idea how I may have inadvertantly changed it.
