Yes, but TPTB (the powers that be) have decided that it's an issue, so I'm
trying to find something to appease them. (Their first idea was for me to
explain how to change the zoom, but I resisted and pointed out that we
don't explain to readers, who btw are security software engineers and so
definitely not computer newbies, how to do all sorts of basic things. And
this info would be totally superfluous to readers who print out the doc
instead of viewing it on their monitor.)
