I suspect you are working in a notebook where you've selected all of the cells and set the magnification in the Format menu. To remove the magnification applied at the cells, select all of the cells and open the Option Inspector. Choose Cell Options->Display Options. You should see a blue 'x' to the left of the word "Magnification". Click it to make it go away, or alternatively, type the word 'Inherited' (without quotes) for the value of the Magnification option. Notebook-level magnification should now be fully effective. Sincerely, John Fultz jfultz at wolfram.com User Interface Group Wolfram Research, Inc.
