Make the expressions slightly larger. Change the expression font size via the

Options>Printing

submenu.

Prepare for changing the expression font size: Close the print preview window with

(_Close_)

, then select the command

Options>Printing>Expression Layout

.

Here you can select the expression font size, choose between

Regular

and

Bold

font, and control

the printing of
