Hi Michael,

The only way I know of is to change the monitor's resolution. She most
likely has it set at 1024 x 768. Have her try 800 x 600, for instance.
Note that this will make *everything* bigger ­ and all the time (not just in
Word) ­ but it's worth a try.

In OS 9, I do this by accessing Control Panels and then Monitors. It's
undoubtedly different in OS X but you should be able to locate it without
much trouble. If not, post back and someone else can direct you.
