Re: headers font is too small!! this is driving me nuts
ON a Windows system, the size of the font in the Help section is changed by pressing the CTRL key and moving the mouse wheel. I don't know what is equivalent on a Mac.
I'm not sure what you mean by "headers". Is it part of your document of part of the user interface?

if you can take a look at the font drag bar, you cant even see the options because its too small !
its just the word program that is wrecked !
i dont have a mouse but i tried moving the touchpad and clicking on control ! nothing changed .

Your screenshot showed the help window with small text which is what I gave a solution for, so you need to be more specific in describing your problem.

I think he means the paragraph style name and the font name on the formatting tool bar.
