I have XP Home and XP Office
I have three files in the same format, with text and tables. Suddenly one of
them has grown in font size from the normal 12 to about 18 or 20. I did
nothing to change that. The font box at the toolbars still says it is font
12. The other files remain as they were. What can I do to correct this?
TIA

What is your Zoom setting? Is the large size just on the display, or does it
print oversized as well? If the latter, is this Word 2007?

Thanks for your prompt response. Mine is XP Office.

I've got it now. From your suggestion of Zoom setting, I found it was 163%.
I don't know how that happened. Could that be some corruption?. Set it back
to 100% and its back to normal.

Sometimes Word just goes crazy. Or, as Office MVP Bob Buckland puts it,
"Word rarely misses an opportunity to perplex."
