The one of another solutions, not simple:

1. save your important data in external data storage;

2. uninstall all MetaTraders;

3. clean register using "regedit.exe";

4. reset to defaults all settings of "iexplore.exe";

5. install MetaTrader;

6. check MetaEditor's help windows.

The another one of another solutions, not simple ? :

1. close MetaEditor;

2. open file "metaeditor.xml" in folder "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\languages" using "notepad.exe";

3. try to change one by one settings "font-size: ...", after each change:

3.1. save "metaeditor.xml,

3.2. run MetaEditor,

3.3. check MetaEditor's help window,

3.4. close MetaEditor ...

thank you,

it seems the third method is simple,but i can not open the file "metaeditor.xml',may you send me a modify one so i can replace original one .

Two of methods to open the file "metaeditor.xml":

First:

1. find "NOTEPAD.EXE" in folder "c:\windows" and run it;

2. press <Ctrl-O> combination to invoke dialog box "Open file ...";

3. set "type of file" to "all";

4. go to the folder "C:\Program Files\MetaTrader 4\languages";

5. find the file "metaeditor.xml" and open it.

Second:

1. Rename "metaeditor.xml" to "metaeditor.txt";

2. select this file;

3. press <Enter>;

4. do not forget to rename "metaeditor.txt" to "metaeditor.xml" after editing.

Explanation: I do not have no "mouse", simply just remembered.

i find 10 lines has font-size and try to modify the value,and save it,restart metaeditor,

no change .please help me .

line 1 * { font-family: Tahoma, Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif; font-size:1em; }

line 2 margin: 3px; padding: 3px; background-color:#fbfbfc; color:#626363; font-size:0.8em; }

line 3 table.symbols{font-family: tahoma; font-size: 8pt; border: thin solid #a8afaa;}

line 4 .docvar { font-family: monospace; font-size: 10pt; font-weight:bold; margin-bottom: 4pt; }

line 5 #d8dfea solid; font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; margin-left: 15pt; width: 95%; }

line 6 .docenums th { vertical-align: top; background-color: #d8dfea; border-bottom: 1px #d8dfea

solid; border-right: 1px #d8dfea solid;font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; }

line 7 .docenums td { vertical-align: top; background-color: #F6F9FC; border-bottom: 1px #d8dfea

solid; border-right: 1px #d8dfea solid;font-family: Tahoma; font-size: 9pt; }

line 8 <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>1</td><td>Upwards arrow with tip rightwards (<span style="font-family:

Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: 12pt;">&#8625;</span>).</td></tr>

line 9 <tr><td>&nbsp;</td><td>2</td><td>Downwards arrow with tip rightwards (<span style="font-family:

Lucida Sans Unicode; font-size: 12pt;">&#8627;</span>).</td></tr>

line 10 <table style="FONT-SIZE: 8pt; FONT-FAMILY: Tahoma" cellspacing="1" cellpadding="2"

"line 2 margin: 3px; padding: 3px; background-color:#fbfbfc; color:#626363; font-size:0.8em; }"

0.8 -> 1.8

?

And what about <Ctrl>+Scroll Wheel ?

thank you i chang it from 0.8to 10.8 no change .

i try <ctrl>+scroll wheel,no change .

The reasons may be:

1. you are using another language than English;

2. you have installed more than one MetaTrader4.

Please try to do following:

1. change the language of MetaEditor to English in menu "View/Languages/English";

2. close MetaEditor;

3. open "metaeditor.xml" and check that line number 10 contains following

"body { margin-top: 3px; margin-bottom: 3px; padding-left: 3px; padding-right: 3px; margin: 3px; padding: 3px; background-color:#fbfbfc; color:#626363; font-size:1.8em; }"

4. run MetaEditor;

5. check changes;

6. with the wheel try to do following:

6.1. place arrow of "mouse" to the center of the help window,

6.2. press <Ctrl> key of the keyboard and hold it pressing,

6.3. try to turn scrolling wheel of "mouse" in both methods - pressing and not to pressing this scrolling wheel, simultaneously holding pressing <Ctrl> key of the keyboard.
