Text prints too small
TextEdit wraps lines of text based on the width of the document window. When you change the size of the window, lines of text wrap to fill in the space appropriately. When you print a document, TextEdit matches the printed document to what you see on the screen. For example, if the document window is very wide, TextEdit must reduce the font size to get all of the words on the page.
You can make TextEdit fit text to the width of the paper you want to use instead.
- To set TextEdit to wrap text based on actual paper width, choose Format > "Wrap to Page." A rectangle shows the margins of the document in the window.
- To set the paper size, choose File > Page Setup and select the paper size and orientation you want to use.
