Tiny Font Help!
My font sizes changed recently and I can't get them back to normal size.
When I open a new document, the default is Times New Roman 12 pt. However, that's not what shows up on the screen. The font is tiny, more like 8 pt., although it is labeled as 12 pt. I am using print view, page width. Worse yet, the line spacing (set to single) seems to be at normal scale so that single spacing looks like double spacing and any effort to reduce by setting "exactly at" cuts off the portions of font below the line (e.g., jgypq). Any older documents created before this problem occurred look fine, that is 12 pt. font looks like 12 pt font (print view, page width). However, anything new suffers from this problem. |

Tiny Font Help!
I have the same problem. The selected font size in Word is 12 pt., but it is
really tiny on my screen and I can hardly read it. I checked to see if superscript or subscript was selected and it wasn't. I tried changing the zoom percentage, but that did not change anything. When I print the document, the font appears normal at 12 pt. But on the screen, it's teensy. This just randomly started yesterday. Documents created before then are readable. But ever since yesterday, I can hardly read what I'm typing. Very frustrating. I've looked at Microsoft Office Help and I haven't yet found anything that addresses this particular problem.

If that doesn't help, go to Format | Font and make sure Superscript isn't checked. If it is, clear the check box and then click the Default... button in the document and then OK to restore the un-superscripted format as the default for new documents. -- Suzanne S.

What I don't understand is how changing the Zoom ratio could have no effect.

I have a similar problem except that everything is ok on the screen (font
size zoom, appearance in print preview, etc.) but it prints at about 2/3 the size. This only happens on one of my documents. I have checked my printer settings and they are the same for all documents. This document has been used by myself and another person using "tracking" but once again this is the only one that displays this behavior. "Suzanne S.

This is a quite different issue. When a document contains "markup," Word
compresses the text area to allow margin space for the "balloons." -- Suzanne S.

Tiny Font Help!
I am having a new problem with Word - just appeared. When I change font
sizes in native Word, the doc still displays the default of Arial 10. However, if I copy that text into Outlook, it displays with the new font and new size. Also, when printing the Word doc, the changed text prints correctly. Is there a 'display' default that was somehow reset? "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: This is a quite different issue.

Without having any idea what version of Word you're using or what View
you're working in this is just a guess. It sounds like you may have the option set for Draft Font and you're in Normal/Draft* View [is that what you mean by "native Word"?]. If you switch to Page/Print* Layout View does the formatting appear as expected? [*- Terminology varies depending on version.] In Word 2007 go to Office Button Word Options Advanced Show document content, clear the check on Draft Font in Draft & Outline View. In prior versions go to Tools Options View, clear the check on Draft Font. If that isn't the solution you'd do better to post a New Message stating all particulars rather than posting a Reply in a thread on a completely unrelated subject. People who may have the solution may never see this question if they haven't participated in the thread.
