Sorry - I don't think I can help with this.

Even changing the Windows display options:

   RightClick->Properties->Appearance->Font size:->Extra Large

only has limited benefit.


Generally speaking, the BlackBox habbit of giving you the Font you (ie the
document's author) asked for (unlike some other programs such as PowerPoint) is
to my preference, but this is a case where that probably does not apply.


I have a similar question though:

If you go to a Control's Properties, and change its Font from, say 'Default' to
'Tahoma', how do you change it back?


Regards

Robert
