For years my Word page in view/print layout was a real size 8.5". The other
day, after an update mandated rebooting, everything on my screen display became larger and fuzzier, and my Word page enlarged to about 10.5". The display still runs at 1024 x 768 @ 60 hz and at 96 DPI. What happened and how do I fix it? Help. Thank you. John

Definitely not in safe mode. The display is normal, except text is larger
and icons are a little fuzzy and the word page is larger. Otherwise the machine is as usual. I have checked a variety of settings, options, etc. and find nothing changed. Obviously I am missing something. John "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: I assume you haven't somehow booted into Windows Safe Mode? -- Suzanne S.

Impossible to troubleshoot from a distance, but I'll keep trying! Is the
problem evident only in Word or has it affected your display generally? Does changing to a lower Zoom in Word help? Is there a chance you've enabled any of the Accessibility Options in Windows Control Panel? If this is a CRT monitor, have you enabled ClearType (which is intended for LCD monitors and actually degrades CRT display)? -- Suzanne S.

It has affected the works geberally. I opened an Excel spreadsheet done in
Arial 10 popint and the type facewas large for Arial 10. Changing to a lower zoom shrinks what is on the screen. I checked the accessibility Options and did notice anything awry. I changed from high contrasr blacl large to windows standard which may have helped with the slight fuzziness only. In Display/monitor it displays the correct monitor DellM991. Where do I find the clear type option? John "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: Impossible to troubleshoot from a distance, but I'll keep trying!

I would think that the Accessibility setting would definitely have been a
factor. I can't find anything about Clear Type on my Windows 2000 machine, so I can't help there (and you may not have the option, either). I'd say just look at every setting on every tab of the Display Properties dialog. -- Suzanne S.
