      A trick that often works is to enlarge the screen a little.  Hold down the control button (ctrl) while hitting the pluus key ( + ) (just above the P).

      No, that IS one way to enlarge the screen, but it wasn't really a good fix for the font size issue. 

      Thanks anyway, we muddled through and finished our taxes.

        I think the only way is to change the screen resolution which is a completel pain in the ass. Please fix this and give us the font size buttons that Windows has.

        In Windows, there is a zoom bar at the bottom of the screen @jastle421

        I'm not sure how that helps a mac user like myself. Why is it omitted in the mac version? That's the real question.
