Default Printed text vs. Screen fonts

The text in a excel printout (which is really in this case a word document)
comes out smaller than the way it appears on screen. Does anyone know why and
how do I make them the same? Thanks

What you see on the screen is a function of a number of things: screen
resolution; application magnification, etc. On paper the result depends on
the font size: 12 point meaning 12/72 inch high for the character H.

What are your settings in FilePage Setup under Scaling?

If you are set for 1 page wide by 1 page tall you could be shrinking the
printed output.
