I think you are looking for ComplexExpand, e.g., In[1]:= SphericalHarmonicY[2, -1, t, p] Out[1]= 1 15 - Exp[-I p] Sqrt[----] Cos[t] Sin[t] 2 2 Pi In[2]:= ComplexExpand[%] Out[2]= 1 15 - Sqrt[----] Cos[p] Cos[t] Sin[t] - 2 2 Pi 1 15 - I Sqrt[----] Cos[t] Sin[p] Sin[t] 2 2 Pi > I have a second question about the Notebook font size.

To change all cells in a Notebook, it is best to edit the StyleSheet (under the Format menu). Alternatively, you might change the screen magnification or use Format/Screen Style Environment/Presentation.
