text became really small, how can I change it back?

[Doug]

I'm having a hard time using Word because the text size became really
small and hard to read. It's not the font size. I'm typing at 12
guage font and the entire letter takes up a lot less space on my
desktop. I used to be able to read 12 guage fonts really well. Now
they are very small.

What can I do to restore the text size to the way it was? Thanks for
your help.

You can change the "View Size." The font doesn't change but it makes
the whole document larger or smaller based on your needs.

Go to VIEW on the top (word) toolbar and drag your mouse down to
ZOOM. Click on a larger % or enter a %.

On my standard toolbar, I also have a zoom option. On mine it is next
to the formatting palette.

You can also zoom in or out by holding down the apple key and ctrl key
at the same time and scrolling with your mouse wheel (if you have
one).

I hope this helps. I have a 12" PowerBook and bad eyes. I often need
to enlarge the document so I can see what I'm typing.

along this same vein choose "fit to width" will expand the width to take
up almost the entire width of the screen leaving just a few pixels on
each side. on both my machines a laptop and a desktop that use 17"
screens that averages out to about 160%.

If it's "fixed", don't "break it"!
