Use Large Fonts for Long Documents

Posted by Steve Marr in Untagged 

I spend time writing articles, blog postings and preparing documents. The smaller fonts can be hard to read. I work in 14 or 16 point type and reduce the font when I finish. This saves eyestrain.


At times I need to review lengthy documents or contracts. The fine print is hard to read and reduces focus. I increase the font for easy reading and reduce it back when I finish.

These steps improve my efficiency and avoid eye strain.
