[Solved] Text now appears very small

Post by dibeach »

Help! I was attempting to format a file and have clicked something that I just cannot figure out what!

Times New Roman 12 pt remains but it is very very tiny on the screen.

I am sure it is something really easy so please tell me!!

First thought; go to View | Zoom and set the zoom value to 100%.

Look at the bottom right of the status bar at the bottom of the Writer window. You will see a zoom-slider '-' and '+' there with a percentage next to the slider — adjust that to suit what you want. Also try right-clicking on the percentage to see some easy quick-set options.
