Question: IE v. Firefox
long story short: I am coordinating weekly "tech tuesday" staff training on Word and other software/tech stuff we use.
I showed everyone how to strip off the fancy page styling from websites for readability (View--Page Style--No Style), and how to increase the text size (CNTRL +). Then it was pointed out to me that only works for Firefox. duh. Anybody know how to do those things in IE?

You're probably not allowed to do those things in IE. That could make it useful and friendly.

I checked my I.E. (I am a Firefox user too).
Style - in I.E. is View>Style>No Style or Default Style. Text - in I.E. is View>Text Size>Smallest, Smaller, Medium, Larger or Largest.

I don't have a "style" selection in my IE View menu. (IE7) Although I do see the text size selection there.

Tools/Internet Options/Accessability/Format documents using my style sheet
Don't know what a syle sheet is, or does, or where to get one; but that's where you apply it.

You could take a Reset CSS example, copy and paste into a text editor, save it, and use that.

I found a shortcut that works on both! If you hold the ctrl key down and use the wheel on your mouse, it will zoom bigger or smaller depending on what way you are moving the wheel.

I watch the trendy browser crowd with amusement. Not that there's anything wrong with it, I just have a different persepctive, working in IT and using applications which HAVE TO run, as a literal life and death matter. I run vanilla XPP SP3 IE7, and when I (rarely) encounter something which does not run on a generic windows box, I just say "how cute, the developer is twleve" and move on.
