Occasionally a web page will be overly large, so that only a portion of it is in my Window. Since this is only occasional, I don't want to change my screen resolution. How do I reduce the size of those pages so that more of the material does appear in the Window?

Try holding down the Ctrl key and scrolling the Mouse Wheel. One direction makes it bigger, the other smaller.
This is a Windows standard that works in most, but unfortunately not all, applications.

Ken, I should have mentioned that I'm looking for a solution in MSN Explorer. I know about the Zoom Control in Windows Explorer, but that doesn't seem to be included in MSN Explorer. I had tried the scroll technique, but to no avail! Just for insurance, I'm going to also post to the MSN discussion group.

Get a decent Web browser, such as Firefox or Mozilla, where you can adjust size in steps with Ctrl-plus and Ctrl-minus.
Or write to the clueless Webmaster that created a fixed-width output.
Or both.

OK, I found my solution. MSN Explorer does have a text size control, in the VIEW menu, that is page related.

Sorry, I know nothing about MSN explorer and can't help.

I thought the 'zoom' thing is more a function of the mouse than a web browser or operating system.
So it depends on what type of mouse you have. eg Microsoft Intellimouse (with the scroll button) or other well known brands like Logitech etc.
