Hide and Seek

I was getting ready to type up a new blog … must be halfway consistent, mustn't I? … when MicroSoft dealt me another blow. That's the problem with MicroSoft (and maybe all giant computer programs, for all I know) – they aren't consistent. Just when you think you've got a mutually working relationship with them, they go and do something unexpected.
Today when I opened up a new blog document, the view of it was not what I expected. The lettering seemed half the size I expected, or less, although the program claimed it was its normal 11 point size. When I compared this new blog document to one I'd previously written, the old one went to '10' according to the ruler along the top. The new one goes to 16 ½.
Now, if this were a document document, I could simply adjust the size at which I'm viewing it. But it's not a document document, it's a blog document. And despite all my efforts, all my searching, I can't find any way to change the size of the view. I even got desperate enough to consult the help files, but they were no help. Help files never actually help, do they?
And so I had to change the size of the font to twice what it normally is, in order for me to see the letters I was typing. I expect when I post this blog, I'll have to change the font back to its normal size, or everybody will think I'm screaming at them. I'd rather just scream at MicroSoft, like that would do any good. Why should they listen to customer complaints? They already have their money.
