Click the 'Ignore font sizes specified on web page' checkbox, or press 'Alt' + 'Z'.

Click the 'OK' button twice with the mouse, or press 'Enter' twice, to return to Internet Explorer.

Note: If this does not work it could be because your computer settings cannot be changed due to local IT policies - contact your local IT support for further help.
