My face is red. My ex-wife's iMac makes a print that's too small to read. When I was asked how to make prints larger, I just couldn't recall how to do that. Resolution?

Suggestions, anyone?

    Do you want to get a larger font in a document?



    If so what app is she using?

    I think she was using Word, but I don't think that fonts were the problem. That would show up on a document she was working on.

    So it's how the doc looks on the screen?



    If so and she's working with Word go to 'View' on the menu bar and the very bottom choice is 'Zoom'. Click it and '200%' and things will look bigger.



    Hope that helps.

    lol



    She's prolly using an A5 template and printing to A4 - just guessing ... but you could check easy enough by getting her to Print and choosing the pdf option which will preview the doc at the chosen paper size.



    Don't ask ME how to change the paper size in Word tho' - wouldn't have a clue. It'll be somewhere completely obvious but infuriatingly hidden like most M$ apps.
