Book panel list of files font size is unreadable.

Hi everyone,

First post here as I cannot find an answer anywhere else.

In Framemaker 2019 15.0.4.751

I was issuing a "Fit Page to Window" from the bottom right and for some reason the font size in the book window has gone really small and I cannot find a way to enlarge it again.

All books now open with this super small font.
See picture below.

 

I am using 3 x 1920x1200 monitors if that is of any use.

Can anyone help ?

Thanks in advance,

Andre

    Click inside the book window and then tap Esc z i (consecutively, not all at the same time) until the type size looks good to you (or just click the + icon next to Fit Page in Window).

     

    FrameMaker will resize either the document window or the book list type size, depending on which one is active.

    You can also press the Control key and roll your mouse wheel to increase or decrease the size of the book window contents.

    Hi framexpert,
    That does not work for me!

    Works for my content but not for the book file panel.

    I stand corrected! It doesn't work for me either in FrameMaker 2019. I thought I was able to do this, but maybe it was an earlier version. I am sorry for posting the wrong information.

      You might try updating to patch 5 too.

          Thank you Barb,

          Did not know that existed. I am so glad I can still learn something each day.
          Stay Safe,

          Andre
