I am working with Word 97. I have just transfered everything to a new
computer. All went well untill I tried to use Word. It functions OK with
some little quirks but my problem is this:

The program opes properly... I can open a previously saved doc. ..... it
opens a 100% but it only takes up about half of the space on the screen. I
increase the size of the document to 150% and it looks just fine... as it
was at 100% on my old computer... fills the whole screen.

Also, when I go to open a file the box opens and lists all of the file
folders the problem is the print is extremely small. I have dabbled with
the font size for the desk top but (not when word is open) and obviously it
has no impact on Word.

Thoughts?

Thanks,

jem

It sounds like your display settings are inappropriate - right click the
screen and select properties. You will find options there to reduce the
resolution and/or increase the displayed font size via the 'settings' tab.

The screen resolution has a direct impact on the size of the displayed

Then you are not doing what I have suggested. Are you trying to tell me that
if you change the screen resolution to (say) 800 x 600 it has no effect?
