At default setting, type appears microscopicly small. Why?
Set at New Times Roman 12, the type is impossible to see on the document.
What is the simple solution that I'm missing? Thanks |

I solved a similar problem at age 45 by acquiring bifocal eyeglasses.
Now I actually like the crispness of 10-point typefaces, too. Perhaps a short-term solution would be to pick up a pair of drugstore reading glasses.

Have you looked at this document on anyone else's computer? Does it look the
same? -- JoAnn Paules MVP Microsoft [Publisher] "Knucklehead" wrote in message news Set at New Times Roman 12, the type is impossible to see on the document. What is the simple solution that I'm missing? Thanks |

Have you changed your display resolution lately to a higher
resolution--say from 1024 x 768 to 1280 x 1024? Try setting it back to the previous resolution just to see if you can read the text better. If gains nothing to increase one's resolution if one can't read the screen's data, right? Start Settings Control Panel Display Settings and click on the Advanced button. If you have trouble reading type, set DPI to 120 to see if it helps. You can always set it back to 96 DPI (standard setting) A couple of things that may or may not help but are worth the effort. First, are you using a regular monitor or a laptop? If the latter, do you have Clear Type Tuning enabled via the Clear Type Tuning control panel? If not, you would likely benefit greatly from having Clear Type Tuning enabled and set to your particular preferences. Try this: Start Settings Control Panel If you see a Clear Type Tuning control panel, you have a great facility to improve the readability of your LCD screen's type. Click on the Clear Type Tuning control panel. When it opens, Check the Turn on ClearType box. Then click on the Start Wizard button. Follow the instructions to select the type views you like best. The control panel will then enhance your LCD's legibility based on your selections. If you decide you don't like the results, start the wizard over, or uncheck the Turn on ClearType box. I installed Clear Type Tuning on my system even though I have a nice sharp 19" monitor. Clear Type Tuning made a world of difference! I'm very happy with it. But the key thing is that Clear Type Tuning was designed specifically to dramatically improve the legibility of laptop screen type. If you already had Clear Type Tuning enabled, uncheck the box in the control panel and see if that makes a difference. My aplogies for "talking your ear off" but had some ideas that might help you.
