Oh pul-eeze! That's gumby reasoning if ever I heard it! Stretch anymore and
the wires will start poking out.
The OP makes very clear reference to changing the font size from one
specific value (11) to another (16). No where does the OP say anything about
making the font more readable on the screen. And while many tasks in Word can
be accomplished in a multitude of ways, changing the zoom setting absolutely
does *NOT* change the font size. Peter has once again ventured outside his
very limited area of expertise and is talking through a hole in his hat; stop
defending him.

Well, in fairness, the OP didn't actually say he wanted the font to be
larger on printout, and it could very well be that he does just want them to
be more readable onscreen. I don't think this is particularly likely, but
it's not impossible, and in Word there is always more than one way to skin a
cat.

Yeah, that'd do it. Everybody *knows* that when you set the zoom in Word
it
automatically increases the font size on printed documents as well.

Or maybe you just want to set your Zoom to 150%?

Thanks, JE
