The easiest thing to do is to use the magnification icon -- by default 
"100%" in the status bar of a notebook's window (the location of this 
varies with the platform).  Click there and then select 125%, 150%, etc.

But you'll need to do that each time you open a notebook.

Another way is to use the Options Inspector:

1.From the Format menu, select Options Inspector.

2. In the first field at the top of the pop-up Options window, from the 
drop-down list select Global Preferences.

3. In the left pane, click Notebook Options to open up a list of 
subcategories of options.  Select Display Options in that list.

4. Now in the right-hand pane you will see a line with the option 
Magnification, which has setting 1 by default. To change it, click the 
little icon at the right end of that line and select the magnification 
factor you want, e.g., 1.25.  (You'll notice an X is now displayed next 
to "Magnification".

5. Click the Apply button in the Options Inspector window.  Close the 
Options Inspector.

A third way is to modify the default style sheet. I don't recommend that 
for a beginner.
