Do you use 100% size when working in Word or Excel?

Yes, I do. It is simply out of habit because all too often I work on recockulously small monitors set at 640x480 for inexplicable reasons.

100% in word and 100% in excel, running 1280 by 960 I like seeing it how it will be printed on the paper.

Always 100% in Word and Excel. Going smaller tends to distort some numbers/letters and make them hard to distinguish. Of course I run 1600x1280 for two full Word pages with margins at 100%. Just one more reason I perfer CRTs.

For help with fitting more in Excel, set the default font size down a notch or two. Gets you a lot more work in a limited screen space without having to distroy the image by using less than 100%.

The only time I use anything but 100% is with working with PDFs. For some reason, most PDFs I recieve are unreadable font at anything <150%.

100% in word, 1280x960 res. I run dual, so I always have some extra work space if I need it...but usually I'm focusing when I'm writing. (or rather, trying to)

Usually 150% because I like using small text sizes (6 or 8). 1600x1200.
