I found out how to change the screen view from 140% to any other size. Go to "view">"zoom". There one can change the size of the document size as viewed on the screen. As I said before, this does not alter the actual size of the document. What I haven't found out is how to make a particular size the default view size (say 75% - which is a size I like). The size seems to be defaulted at 140% for documents converted from word. My real problems with word converted documents are with pictures and things other than type. There the conversion is FAR from good. You can post my mail to the Open Office IL mailing list. Isn't this list the OO IL mail list? If not how does one join?

So you're not sure how, but you're viewing Word docs at 75%? (how did it get from the default 140% to 75%?) 2. Can I post your mail (or perhaps you prefer to) on Open Office IL mailing list? perhaps people there will have the answer. surely they're supposed to as chief porting/deveoplers of the OO-IL project are subscribed there Thanks again :-) Boaz.
