Thanks Brian. Tried the first two with no difference. I have not had a 2nd monitor hooked up in weeks so knew that wasn't the problem. Then remembered that I had done something to help these "older" eyes. I had gone into the main setting for the computer and changed the font size... changed it back and yep, that was the problem. I know I can adjust font size for individual things so will do that although I will have to fiddle around with the fonts used in Legacy to see if that can be adjusted. May have to drag out that second screen and see if that would work. Thought I'd let you know the fix so that if someone else has problems, it can be added to the "check this" list. Thanks for your help. Gail
