Hi Eleanor,

Can you please just positively confirm that you have tried both my
suggestions regarding the zoom size?

I'll paste them below in case they got lost - please let us know whether
this fixes it:

Toolbar > View > Zoom > select 100% (or bigger!)

Assuming you have a scrollwheel mouse, press CTRL on the keyboard, and roll
the wheel down to zoom out, up to zoom in (applies to most apps on a PC).

Regards,

Jonathan
