Yes I do mean old or aged whatever term suits, we are a group of Seniors who
are in a state-wide organisation and I try and run the helpdesk to assist
our members some of whom are aged up to the nineties.
You can have a look at

desire to.
The original font that he was using was Arial 12 and he had the page set to
A4, but for some reason he wanted it printed on A5 and that's when the
trouble began. As far as I know he only gets the font problem when he tries
to print on the A5 paper.

Just in case the obvious has been missed ....
When you say "senior member" do you perhaps mean "old" - and possibly
someone who has failing eyesight and large fonts displayed on screen. If
so,
what size is the font really? Is the A5 paper actually relevant or is the
font small on all paper sizes?

Enjoy,

If the document originally had a page size of greater than A4, file
page
setup paper paper size A5 will change the paper size without changing
the font size.

'Scale to fit' is more likely to be the problem than the solution.
Changing the document page setup shouldn't change the font size, but
scaling in the print dialog certainly will.

Setting page size to A5 is only half the answer. Several places
need to have the A5 selection. Go to the Properties button of your
Print menu. Click on the "Effect" tab, and make sure that the
document size is A5. Look right under it...there is a radio button
that needs to be checked...Scale To Fit. Click on OK button. See
if this helps.

I am trying to help one of our senior members here with a problem
that he is having. i.e.
Joe.
I am writing a letter on M.S. Word and want to print that on size
A5. The printing is no problem but the print size come up so small
it
is hardly readable. How can I overcome that? The size is even
smaller than this.
I did advise him to go into File/Page Setup/Paper and change the
size to A5 but that didn't resolve his problem.
Can anyone assist us please?
