My reflex to try it right away while I was reading the message reminded me of that old deja vu...

As to our dilemma (who did it - FoxTeam or the GDI guys) - I have no clue. The fact that some software reacts to ctrl+mousewheel by changing font size may mean that the authors thereof have done their homework by either replicating the works, or using a system service - and that the others didn't. But I still have no idea which is it.

Tried: Notepad - doesn't. Access browse window - doesn't. Mozilla Firefox does. Mozilla 1.6 doesn't. Office 2003 does.
