someone said above as well. make MB larger, settings/accessibility/display/select default or larger, requires new login.
Startup menu, I presume you mean login menu? Settings/users and groups/login options
Yes - I appreciate that.
However, I am having major issues trying to get Microsoft Word to export to PDF using the best for electronic distribution option. But only on one file! Many others work fine. Print and save to PDF doesn't let the ToC work.
Therefore, I asked in case this could be an alternative.

What? The article tips or the keyboard combinations?

CMD-Click (or right-click) on the name of the folder (once opened) in the titlebar and you'll see a drop-down of the full path.
Option-click on the name of the folder (once opened) in the titlebar and you'll see the full path at the bottom of the window. (Doesn't seem consistent to me - but then option keys in general aren't consistent for me, despite multiple keyboards.)
I never knew the "search current folder" option existed. That's super-useful. Ditto for hitting Escape during a screenshot.
Here's a simple but useful one for all shortcut people out there: In Safari, use Cmd+L to jump to the address bar and start typing right away.
It's also much faster than search the whole Mac. There is a very good chance when you do a search that what you are looking for is in this folder or subfolders. If you make this the default, it is easy to do a search in current and if nothing is found, you click on "this Mac" in the header to expand the search.
You could also assign a shortcut to it in System Preferences ➔ Keyboard ➔ Shortcuts ➔ App Shortcuts
I'm on Mojave (10.14.6) and don't see this option - see screenshot below. Is it only available on newer OS's? If so, is there a way I can put something in place (Automator?) so I can easily convert HEIC images to JPEG?
I think you need Monterey, but you can achive the same with Automator: https://savjee.be/2020/07/heic-to-jpg-quick-action-with-automator/
If these quick actions are not available in Mojave, chances are, when you open the HEIC file in Preview, it should give you a file option to export to other file formats. Not as convenient but should still work.
I use this shortcut a lot: holding down option and hitting many of the controls on the F keys on a Mac keyboard (brightness, volume, Mission Control) will immediately bring you to the relevant System Preferences panel.
you can't search for what you do not know exists in the first place
That's where it is on Monterey. The automator action @Icelus posted is just what you need. It might look scary if you've never done one before, but it's really easy and a great thing to learn.
Cmd tab will take you to previous program, and also give you an option to go to any open program.
Cmd+Shift+Tab scrolls through the list backwards. Sometimes helpful, especially if you have a lot of open programs.
Many thanks for the link. I have just set this up using Automator on my Mac. I'd not have been able to do it without the info you provided. Thank you! ?
