Hi there:
An e-book comes in a .chm file format with very small font size. I would
like to know how to enlarge the font size. I tried to change font size in
IE, but no effect on the chm file.
Any help?

Hi CM,

I think there is only one solution about decompiling a CHM, changing the
stylesheet used in the any HTML file and recompile the project to a CHM
file.

Thanks for reply! That's would be a great work to do. However, I found the
font size is enlarged by chance when I browse the e-book and screwed up and
down. But I am still not clear how this happened and it never happened
again. I am afraid someday the font size will be changed back to the
original small size. I believe there should be a simple way to do this, ...

Some CHMs have the IE Browser Text Size button.
You know Text Size: Largest, Large, Normal, Small, Smallest

If they don't you can change the font size:
1. Change via an IE window - Viewer > Text Size, then reopen your CHM
2. Click the topic window then Hold down Ctrl and roll your mouses scroll
wheel.
