[Solved] Fuzzy print on screen

Post by reverendjohnc8 »

I had no problem with OpenOffice until I changed from an HP PC to a Lenovo laptop. Now, although all other apps etc. present as crisp clear print, when using OO the on screen print is fuzzy - still workable but not pleasant to work with for any long time. Is there a solution?

To confirm: is it definitely OpenOffice (4.1.3) or is it LibreOffice - check /Help /About to be certain and please confirm the version.

Thanks, I have just updated my external screen with a new one - testing it at the moment. I will get back to you with the result!

SOLVED. Thanks for your help! Changing the monitor has solved the problem.

It may be that, using the original monitor, changing the settings for either or both of Hardware acceleration and AntiAliasing in /Tools /Options /OpenOffice /View
will solve the fuzzy problem.
