[mso] Re: Word2003 Tiny Font in Help, No Local Help

To adjust the online help settings in Word, bring up Word without an open 
document and hit F1.  In the help pane there should be a "See also" area, 
and "Online Content Settings" is one of the links.  I keep "online" 
completely "off".

I don't know about the font.  Mine is small but quite readable on my 
1280x1024 17" at home and 19" at work.  It looks to be the same font size as 
is used for menu items (which is a Windows setting), but this might just be 
coincidence.

Regards, Dave S
