Why is the report print screen so large that the top and bottom are not viewable?

When selecting "Print" from a report screen, the next view is so large that it runs past the computer screen's border causing some choices to be blocked out.

    Have you selected the View > Use large fonts option along with Windows text scaling greater than 100%? That combination will cause this problem unless you have a high resolution monitor.

    If you temporarily set the text scaling to 100% or turn off Large fonts you will be able to see the whole Print dialog. To access the Text scaling option, right click on your desktop and select Display settings.

    When I turned off Large Fonts as you suggested the whole print dialog became visible. Thank you! I needed printed reports for tax purposes so was very frustrated when the screen wasn't right. Now I know to go back and forth to Large Fonts as needed.
