(1) I don't know.
(2) An easy thing to do is to change the display magnification at the
bottom of the workbook window or use the menu command
Window | Magnification
(3) Until assigned a value, what you type is a Symbol.
Head /@ {word, 2, Pi, Pi // N, 3.14, 1/4, "str"}
{Symbol, Integer, Symbol, Real, Real, Rational, String}
#[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ}
{Symbol, False, False}
word = 2;
#[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ}
{Integer, False, True}
word = "str";
#[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ}
{String, True, False}
word =.
#[word] & /@ {Head, StringQ, NumericQ}
{Symbol, False, False}
