Default Word Screen Fonts Too Large for Settings

I have two Microsoft Windows computers. They are both running Microsoft XP
Pro SP2, both running the exact same version of Microsoft Word (2003 student
edition), both are running at 1280x1024 at 96 dpi. However, on one the
fonts in Microsoft Word are huge on screen, even for a size as low as 8. On
the other computer they are not. Further, they are even different between
Microsoft Word and Microsoft WordPad.

I set up a screenshot to show the comparison. Both Microsoft Word and
Microsoft WordPad are using the same font face and size. You can see that
on screen the one in Microsoft Word looks huge. They both print the same
size.

The keywords here (Microsoft Word and fonts) are too general for me to find
any help. I have looked in all the content help and examined all
configuration options. I have never had this problem with Microsoft Word
before, and I don't have it on my other computer.. Any help would be
appreciated.

I trimmed it down to less than 2 MB, but with Microsoft Windows I don't know
a better way to do a screenshot than to print screen and copy to paint. I
would prefer a PNG, but, it is what it is.

TIA,
