I updated to Internet Explorer 7 (I heard someone call it Internet Exploder the other day.. lol.. I hadn't heard that in a while.. ) to check some things out, and noticed that when I was in the Flash IDE I couldn't use ctrl + the scrollwheel to change font size for the Help panel. I wasn't sure that IE7 was to blame until today when I finally got tired of squinting at the help panel and un-installed IE7. Un-installing IE7 was actually easy, I just went into "Add remove programs" and clicked the "Remove" button. After un-installing IE7 I can now use the scroll wheel to change font size again. cool.
Now you might be wondering why I don't just listen to the technote and change the CSS to whatever font size I want? Well.. I have 3 monitors and run different resolutions. I like to be able to drag the Help panel to different monitors every so often, and that means I need to change the font size on the fly.

And I don't know about you, but when i installed IE7 somehow Garamond font has disappeared from my PCs Fonts list. I found it by accident, when our designer saw that the website, that he created, was with different fonts. He blamed programmer but it was all mighty IE7s fault.

The tech note technique does not work on my system. It also is broken on the new Flash CS3
thanks
