font size settings seem to be "off" somehow

I'm using Word 2010 with Windows XP, and have the font set at 12, however it looks too small on the screen.

When I increase the font to 24 for example, it looks like font 12 on the screen.  However, it prints out very large.

I first noticed this problem after I set up a new printer.  When I tried to print something off the internet or an email, the print would be very tiny and only a small portion of the image would show up.  I called the printer manufacturer (Brother), and they said the problem was with the internet provider.  I ended up changing internet providers.  Now I can print fine from email or internet, but Word documents are not printing properly.

Any suggestions as to what I might try to fix this problem.

Thank you

Answer
Leave the font at 12 points and increase the zoom ratio of the document by using the zoom slider at the bottom right of the screen.
Hope this helps,
