    Large Font Size Ruining Form

    Hello,

     I have about 10 forms working for 100's of people in our workplace.

     1 person is having a Large Font issue.  Have found no solution yet.   Everyone else is okay.

    I know the Form is okay, as eveyone except one person has no issues and are using them.

    Example of Form as it should be:

    The Large Problem One:

    Please have the user close all InfoPath windows, adjust the font size in Internet Explorer (Ctrl + 0 should do the trick), and then reopen InfoPath.  InfoPath uses the IE rendering engine so there are cases of IE influencing InfoPath.

    Okay, had user close all IE windows and they were not in any forms..  Fired off another IE window.

     Tried Ctrl + 0, then had them fire off form.  Still large for them.

    Did you ever get this resolved? We have two users with the same issue.

    OK. We figured this out for our users. It was a text size setting in IE. Open IE, click View, Text Size, Medium. Oddly, on one of them Medium was already selected, but we selected it again, and then Infopath worked fine. Didn't even have to re-open IE for it to work.

    Mightytook,

    Thx for posting that.  We tried that initially It didn't work in our case. 

    We actually had to rebuild the users profile in Windows. 

    We have some screwy roaming profiles and although the above should have worked, something in the profile

    prevented it.

    Interesting. We've had some problems where SharePoint couldn't figure out that Infopath was installed that required a rebuild of a user's profile.

    To fix this problem open up an IE Page then in the menus at the top click on view, then choose Text Size and then choose Medium. Your page on your infopath form will now be normal again.

    If you do not have the Menu's at the top then choose Tools then Toolbars and click on Menu bar and then you can go through the process.
