How do I adjust the font size of the recipes on my screen?

RECIPE EDITOR (MasterCook 14 and greater)

If you want to adjust the font size of the Recipe Edit screen (Pencil icon in taskbar at the right) you do that by selecting Preferences from the Edit menu. You will find the font size setting within the Cookbook/Recipe tab.

RECIPE DISPLAY

If you want to adjust the font size of the Recipe Display screen (4th icon down in the navigation bar along the right) you use the Customize Cookbook command from the Tools menu. Use the Display tab within that window.

RECIPE PRINT

 If you want to adjust the font size of printed recipes see: Larger Print Font

ENTIRE PROGRAM

Your computer and its monitor control the size of the entire program and its screens. On a laptop for example the screen makes fonts very small. However, if you plug your laptop into an external monitor, everything is much larger and easier to read.

You can adjust the screen resolution as well. To adjust the font size on your computer which also affects all of MasterCook you can reduce your screen resolution as explained here:

At lower resolutions, such as 800 x 600 pixels, fewer items fit on the screen, but they appear larger. See this article for other options:
