Everything suddenly looks different in ON

I was attempting to cut & paste w/ CTRL-V when I guess I hit a wrong key,
maybe ALT or FN or something, and now my whole notebook looks different. The
text is all bigger and bolder looking. It doesn't seem to have changed any
actual formatting, just the way the screen displays it. I went and double
checked my font (Times New Roman), font size, the size of my text box, all
that stuff. But now the font looks funny, like where there is an 'sp' the
letters touch, but there is big space after all the letter n everywhere.

What happened and how do I change it back? Is there a way to just restore
all default settings without losing any info? I just want it to look like it
does when you first install it.

I tried hitting the undo button, but it didn't change the appearance, it
just undid my recent typing.

Check the settings for scaling.
I assume that it's not more tan the wrong percentage of scaling.

a) Try Ctrl+MouseScrollWheel;
b) Check your Toolbar settings; in the "Standard" Toolbar there's a
field for individually scaling the display.

Should these suggestions not work, pls come back with providing more
details.

i restored the toolbars and that didn't change it. The toolbars look the
same, anyway. They did not change. But the text looks almost like it got
zoomed in on. That was my first thought, but I can't find a 'zoom' function
anywhere in ON, so I assume that is not it. I reduced the font in one page
from 12 to 10 point and it almost looks like it did before, except the
spacing issue I mentioned earlier, between letters.

But that is the other thing, is that it is not just in the page I was
working on when it happened - it is my whole notebook that looks like this
now. I have to go to school to print, so I am not sure yet if anything prints
differently, though I did try to print to file and view the print preview and
that looked like it ought.

Shortly before it happened, I had actually been messing around with the
print settings and trying to find out how to set the default print for the
one page to print landscape and then adjust the size of the text box to the
full page with for landscape, but I wasn't doing that when it happened and I
switched it back to portrait after it happened and that didn't fix it.
