The font on the screen and printer is set via Tools/Options/Content/Fonts&Colours. When viewing, a font size of 13 is very good but much too large for a printed document. Is there a way to define different font sizes for the screen and for printing? It's a little tedious to constantly switch the font size each time I want to print a page.

I think I may have found the answer. Go to File/Page setup/ Check Shrink To Fit Page Width.

This solved a problem I had with the printed pages being too large.
