How to print full size text with comments

[edj]

I want to print out documents with text and comments. Easy enough to
do but the text is printed out scrunched together so the font size is
small. I tried printing in landscape but it still is scaled down.
Anyone know of a way to do this and have the font size be the same as
the original? I don't care if the pagination is changed from how it
would be without the comments. I just want a document to review with
comments that has full size fonts.
thank you.

Hmm, I think pagination is the sacred cow here, so there is no built-in
setting for this, as far as I know, but I played around with a couple of
things--

1) in File | Page Setup, there is a zoom setting. Putting that at 200%
appeared to do something in the quick preview--it looks larger, but it's
also wasting the bottom half of every page, and the balloons are using
half the width. I wouldn't want to read it like that, but you can test
whether it works for you by printing to PDF.

2) If you don't care about the pagination, Select All and set the
document text to 18pt, then let Word squish it down (18pt is just a guess.)

3) It is possible to print just the list of markup, and the uncommented
document separately. Unfortunately, when I tested this to PDF, I could
not see any marker in the regular document that showed a comment had
been there. The list of markup gives page numbers for the comments, so
if you don't have many comments, and they tend toward ideas/discussion
rather than typos/phrasing, that *might* work for you. If you want to
mess with it, in the Print dialog, change Copies & Pages to Microsoft
Word, and set the Print What to print list of markup. Printing the
document from Normal view should get you the document without markup.

hope something helps,

Answered elsewhere - please don't post the same issue in multiple groups
unless:

a) It is pertinent to each, and
b) you mention having done so & name each of them.

well, d*mn, and I put time into that answer too! What a waste.

Don't feel too bad... It's in the PC group - and no indication in either
post of which version is involved
