I am working under Windows > 7. Sorry, I have no experience with neither Windows 7 nor Internet Explorer. On my Windows XP box when I choose "Use External Browser" and then check "Default System Browser" the help will be opened with Firefox, which is my "Default System Browser". There I can increase the zoom factor with the usual menu entry or Ctrl-+. Have you tried to just check the "Default System Browser" entry? hth, albert
From: Hannes Kessler on 2 Mar 2010 03:38 Hi Albert, yes, I tried both and my default browser is also Firefox. Neither one works.

I just realized that there is an extra setting for the help system, in Preferences -> Help -> "Open Help Contents" you can choose to open help in an external browser. The other setting seems to affect other uses of the web browser only. Sorry for the confusion... I think when eclipse is running you could even try to just access the help system by pointing an external web browser to your localhost, something like: http://127.0.0.1:1229/help/index.jsp hth, albert

Are you talking about something in Mathematica Preferences here, or in the Mac OS Help System or some other OS? I don't find anything that looks like "Preferences -> Help -> "Open Help Contents"" in the Mathematica Preferences for the Mac version of 7.0.

He's talking about the Preferences in Wolfram Workbench 2.0.
