I used to enlarge the font to work in but then I found
that Word has an enlargement "thing." Enlarging the
font changes line lengths and page lengths, but using
the Word enlarger doesn't--it just makes it easier to
read. A file will start out at 100% but can be
enlarged to as high as 500% and anything inbetween.
