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. http://www.resident-aliens.org/misc/fontproblem.bmp 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, |

Click View Zoom and set the zoom to 100%. (If you didn't have both
toolbars on the same line, you'd see a zoom box on one of them, which is another way to set it.)

No, no no...tell me I didn't do that! I never touched the zoom, and it
never occurred to me. It see now, for some reason, it defaults to 200% whenever I switch views (Web, Print, Normal). I feel like Charlie Brown. My shame forever archived on Google, the source of endless amusement and head shaking. I thank you, but wished I had used a fake name! :-) "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

Word Screen Fonts Too Large for Settings
If it will console you, I find that when I open very old documents (ones
created in Word several versions back), they open at some very large Zoom ratio). I'm not sure whether this reflects a change in screen resolution or what; I merely point it out as a convenient excuse to save you embarrassment. g -- Suzanne S.
