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.

I suspect that your text has been formatted as Superscript. Select it and
press Ctrl+Spacebar. If that doesn't help, go to Format | Font and make sure
Superscript isn't checked. If it is, clear the check box and then click the
Default... button in the document and then OK to restore the
un-superscripted format as the default for new documents.

My font sizes changed recently and I can't get them back to normal size.
When I open a new document, the default is Times New Roman 12 pt.
However,
that's not what shows up on the screen. The font is tiny, more like 8
pt.,
although it is labeled as 12 pt. I am using print view, page width.
Worse
yet, the line spacing (set to single) seems to be at normal scale so that
single spacing looks like double spacing and any effort to reduce by
setting
"exactly at" cuts off the portions of font below the line (e.g., jgypq).
Any
older documents created before this problem occurred look fine, that is 12
pt. font looks like 12 pt font (print view, page width). However,
anything
new suffers from this problem.
