Why the text on my InfoPath form is so large

Thursday was another good day because there were several things that reminded me of things that I already knew but hadn't blogged about.  Anybody that works with InfoPath knows or should know that InfoPath is tightly integrated with IE and the below details is one example of this.

In the last post I mentioned that I was working with a new guy that will be taking over my work and whenever he opened a form in "Design Mode" his form text looked so much larger than mine and at times his text would wrap and mine wouldn't.  This morning it bothered me enough that we looked at what the problem was and we discovered that it was "Text Size" IE setting.  Below images of the same form but if you look really close you will notice that the labels are different sizes.  This is caused by the "Text Size" menu option being set at different levels.

When we changed the "Text Size" menu option to be the same as mine then the forms looked identically the same.  To change the text size in IE 7 click Page menu button next to Tools and then navigate down to Text Size and below is a screen shot of the Text Size menu option.  The second image is another example of getting to the same menu option and is pretty close on how to do it with IE 6. 

This situation will most likely stay with me for a while because it will be something that I will want to tell future clients to watch out for because it could truly be an issue help desks would need to watch out for.

Cheers
