Hah I use the zoom feature turned on all the time as I'm legally blind 
and it does run without a hitch.  One caveat though is the Jaguar 
version won't track the cursor as you type, so you'll need the Panther 
version for that feature.  Works nice though.

One other option for Dan would be to use a lower screen resolution in 
that as you go down in resolution the print size becomes bigger.  As 
for myself I choose to use the zoom option and then just adjust it 
according to what I'm doing at the moment and leave the resolution to 
the high default setting.  If I can't see somethin then I just give 
myself more zoom.
