Tiny Font Help!
in [Page Layout]
|
From: Lynne in DC Lynne in on 20 Jun 2008 11:29 I have the same problem. The selected font size in Word is 12 pt., but it is really tiny on my screen and I can hardly read it. I checked to see if superscript or subscript was selected and it wasn't. I tried changing the zoom percentage, but that did not change anything. When I print the document, the font appears normal at 12 pt. But on the screen, it's teensy. This just randomly started yesterday. Documents created before then are readable. But ever since yesterday, I can hardly read what I'm typing. Very frustrating. I've looked at Microsoft Office Help and I haven't yet found anything that addresses this particular problem.
