Please Help

I don't even know how to describe what I'm seeing.  I usually write my Help topics in Arial 10pt font.  I have the heading in a different font size and color.  Everything looked fine, but now when I open a Help file the wording looks tiny.  When I check the font size it says Arial 10pt, but it looks like 6pt.  Anyone every seen this and how do I fix?  The font doesn't even look Arial.  How did it get changed?  I did not modify the style template at all.  I have over 1000 topics in this one Help file.  Will I have to touch each topic to fix?  I would copy something in but I don't know if it would look right.  UGH!  Time to go home for the night.

    Maybe you need to tell us some more info - what kind of help are you producing? Maybe a screenshot of what you're seeing would help - use the camera icon in the web interface to upload a screenshot.

    Here is a screen shot of what I'm seeing.  I thought it was the zoom but it is set at 100%.  My HTML output is tiny font.  I know I'm missing something simple but I can't figure it out.  I have been importing topics from one help file to another but both help files have the same skin - font and size are all the same.  I recently went from 7.0 to 9.0 so could it be something with that?  I'm scatching my head.

    There is no font name next to the style name (Normal). That suggests a CSS issue. Try linking to a different CSS to confirm.

    I'm thinking now that my css that I created might be corrupted so I highlighted all the topics and unassigned the css I had originally assigned.  Now my data looks readable but not pretty.  I'm going to try and create a new css and assign to my topics.  Not sure how my font got unassigned from my topics.  I didn't do that.

    Perhaps you accidentally changed the zoom in your browser? If you're using Internet Explorer, you should be able to see the zoom % in the bottom right corner of the status bar. Just click the drop-down and select 100%. Or you can press Ctrl and use the mouse scroll wheel to zoom in and out.
