Type size in Office Help is too small

The type size in Office Help is too small for me to read easily.

I'd like to be able to enlarge the type here, the way I can in a browser.

Sounds like a good suggestion, but it doesn't work for me.

I'm in MS Outlook 2003 Help (Hm-m, is Outlook not part of Office?), with an
IBM laptop in a dock with an external keyboard and mouse.

And if there is a method for changing font size in Help -- this or any other
-- how do you discover it?

Do you actually have an article open? ( CTRL + Mousewheel) Or are you
refering to the point at which you would type in a query? (Not dicovered
that one)

Yes, I tried this with a Help item open.

But your use of "article" seems to indicate the online help available at
office.microsoft.com, the Microsoft Office Online site.

Yes, in a browser CTRL + scroll wheel changes the font size.

I would like to increase the size of type in Help items indicated by the
gray Help > (Topic) below the Label or headline. That''s what is too small
for me to read easily.

Guess that's the problem with being near-sighted instead of far-sighted. :)

The only sure way I know of changing the size of what I think you are
describing, is to lower the screen resolution in Display properties,
Settings.

In Internet Explorer, click on View | Text Size, and change the
text size to something larger.

If you are in XP, go to start, all programs, accesories
accessibility, magnifier. It's a nifty little tool. Hope it helps
