When I type in Word, or when I read something from the Internet, the text on
my screen is fuzzy and very light. How do I make it clear and dark?

Did you accidentally touch the monitor's controls, for brightness or
contrast or whatever? (If it happens in everything, it's not a Word
problem.)

It may be a matter of disabling anti-aliasing.

Windows has a function called 'Clear Type' which is often anything but -
though it's display is adjustable.

Word 2007 (Word Options > Popular) and Internet Explorer (Internet Options >
Advanced > Multimedia) both have tools to switch off Cleartype if you
prefer, or you can download the tool from the above link and tweak it to
your taste.

I was so glad when I discovered the Clear Type settings, as the display in
Word was driving me crazy. I don't mind that my letters are "dotty"; at
least they're a uniform color throughout. My eyes are bad enough (floaters)
without having my screen make matters worse.

Hi Suzanne,
FWIW, if I recall correctly the Clear Type settings will affect the 'regular' editing displays, but the Full Screen Reading display
in Word 2007 will use Cleartype.

It appears that you are right about that. It seems okay in the FSR view, and
actually the Regular and Italic type in my documents was not so much a
problem, but the Bold (at least at the Zoom I was using) was just very
weird.
