Do you want to change the size of all your existing documents, or do
you want _new_ documents to be set to 16 pt? For the latter, open your normal.dot or normal.dotm or normal.dotx template (which version of Word?), not by double-clicking it, but from within Word, and Modify (which version of Word?) the Normal style to change its font size.

To clarify, the file name extension for the Normal template in Word 2007 is
*.dotm (macro-enabled template). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Peter T. Daniels" wrote in message ...

Not until you've put at least one macro into it!

No, it's Normal.dotm by default. Otherwise you wouldn't be able to save a
macro in it. A .dotm file is not one that *contains* macros but one that is macro-enabled. -- Suzanne S.

I didn't have any macros for months after installing Office2007, and
my normal. template was normal.dotx until I did. Does my stalker imagine that people have nothing else to do with their lives than monitor newsgroups so they can post instant responses?

Or maybe you just want to set your Zoom to 150%?

Yeah, that'd do it. Everybody *knows* that when you set the zoom in Word it
automatically increases the font size on printed documents as well. More honking from the plonker... -- Cheers! Gordon Bentley-Mix Word MVP Please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup.

Well, in fairness, the OP didn't actually say he wanted the font to be
larger on printout, and it could very well be that he does just want them to be more readable onscreen. I don't think this is particularly likely, but it's not impossible, and in Word there is always more than one way to skin a cat. -- Suzanne S.

Oh pul-eeze! That's gumby reasoning if ever I heard it! Stretch anymore and
the wires will start poking out. The OP makes very clear reference to changing the font size from one specific value (11) to another (16). No where does the OP say anything about making the font more readable on the screen. And while many tasks in Word can be accomplished in a multitude of ways, changing the zoom setting absolutely does *NOT* change the font size. Peter has once again ventured outside his very limited area of expertise and is talking through a hole in his hat; stop defending him. -- Cheers!

Changing the zoom setting changes the apparent font size. We know from
reading posts here that users often think the font has become larger because they have inadvertently zoomed in. I agree that Peter's interpretation of the request was farfetched, but I think it was a valid comment in any case. If you want to print something out in a larger font size to be more readable, that's one thing, but often people do just want it to be more readable onscreen, and many users are unaware of the Zoom control. -- Suzanne S.
