[QUOTE="technologist, post: 427454, member: 4134"] Well, most word processing applications can be set to zoom the document to a percentage above actual size...you could set up the default new-document template to be zoomed to whatever you feel comfortable with. This would apply to new blank documents in these applications only. For Word, edit the Normal template, inside the Microsoft User Data folder in (probably) your Documents folder. For AppleWorks, follow [URL=http://docs.info.apple.com/article.html?artnum=50421]these instructions[/URL]. For iWork/Pages, try [URL=http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20050926114346630]these directions[/URL]. Other than that, there is a system-wide zoom option in the Universal Access section of System Preferences. Press a keystroke to zoom in on the area of the mouse pointer. It may not be necessary to use this all the time, but you may find it helpful occasionally. [/QUOTE]
