    I recently loaded MS Office Pro 2003 on our computers and find it very difficult to read the associated help web pages. The print size is miniscule. Is there some way to make the print type bigger. It is especially bad on my laptop.

    Are you talking about the Microsoft Office Online thing?

    For the laptop if running XP, have you gone to the Cleartype site and set it up?

    Newt,
    You're a genius. That did it!
    Why isn't this publicized? Will this also work on my desktop running XP Home? I will try it.
    For a while I thought I was going blind.
    Thanks again.

    Glad it helped. Surely saved my sight on a couple of monitors.

    I really don't know why cleartype isn't more widely advertised.

    It will work with any XP system. I find some improvement (though not as dramatic) with my CRT monitor at home.

    I've read from a couple of other folks that it not only didn't help but made things a little worse. Since you only have to uncheck the cleartype box on the start page to un-do it, I see trying cleartype as a no risk thing.
