changing font size in the program - 10/4/2007 15:36:35   
Does anyone happen to know how to increase the font size in Frontpage
itself? Not on the pages it makes, but in the part where it lists the
pages and folders...I figured out how to increase the icon and menu
size, but not that part. It is small print and I have trouble seeing
it. Thanks!

Haven't tried this but should work - from Windows XP Help:

<-- snip -[To increase or decrease the size of objects and text on your screen
Open Display in Control Panel.
On the Settings tab, click Advanced.
On the General tab, in the DPI setting list, click the dots per inch (dpi) setting you want to use.
If you choose Other in the DPI setting list, you can set custom options in the Custom DPI Setting dialog box either by selecting one of the percentage options in the drop-down list or by clicking on the ruler and dragging the pointer to specify a setting.
Restart your computer when prompted.
Notes

To open Display, click Start, point to Settings, click Control Panel, and then double-click Display.
If you want to increase the size of text on your screen to make it more readable, use Font size on the Appearance tab in Display Properties.
The dpi size you specify on the General tab affects all monitors attached to your computer and all users that log on to the computer. snip -->

Also, you might try Windows XP ClearType Tuning - "ClearType delivers improved font display quality over traditional forms of font smoothing or anti-aliasing. ClearType improves readability" (it does :))

See: http://www.microsoft.com/typography/cleartype/tuner/Step1.aspx
