Thanks for answers 1,2, and 3 they make things much easier.
After playing with with your Reset all veiws instructions (Which works fine) I modified it slightly, that is, Alt-V, then up arrow, and then I simply press "enter" (Instead of keyboard "R") as my right hand is there pressing the up arrow anyway.
Very fast and handy as I am constantly changing view sizes, now is there a way to toggle quickly from view to view in ortho views....
Thanks so much for the prompt and helpful reply.
