Fuzzy text
How do I stop text smoothing so that my text is not fuzzy in Word? I used to
be able to check a box, I think in preferences, to get this to stop, but I can't find it in the new version. |

Hi Chris, It's probably ClearType. And it's a Windows setting. Right-click on the desktop, "Properties Display Effects", or something like that. Seaching the Windows help for ClearType should get you there, also. Greetings, Klaus |

Klaus--
Thanks for your response! I noticed that all the text was like that on everything in my computer and was able to change it on the desktop etc. by going to 'appearance' int he 'system preferences', but it is still fuzzy on Word. Unfortunately, I am not finding 'Clear Type' on my computer, and right clicking does not get me the options you mentioned. I am on a Mac G4. Any other suggestions appreciated!

Well, if you are on a Mac this is the type of question that needs to go to a
Mac-specific newsgroup, though Klaus may answer it here. I shoulda caught your use of "preferences". See here for gateway to Mac-specific ngs: http://www.microsoft.com/mac/community/community.aspx?pid=newsgroups This depends on your version of Word--I think Word X has a preference about "quartz text smoothing" that Word 2004 does not have (Excel 2004 still has it). But I think Panther has a preference somewhere too. I also saw a detailed article on the web about dealing with this issue in Entourage, a while back. -- Daiya Mitchell, MVP Mac/Word Word FAQ: http://www.word.mvps.org/ MacWord Tips: http://www.word.mvps.org/MacWordNew/ What's an MVP?
