How do you calibrate Microsoft office so that the 100% view is real size. Right now I have to goto like 120% to see the actual size.
 
Solution
CCC can do scaling. VGA cable on the monitor end is most likely the culprit: the computer cannot detect real monitor size.

Also, what do you mean by if you laptop could work?

I am using a 7750 at home and I am not sure if CCC can do scaling. If that would work, how would it work? Next, I am using a dvi - vga with vga at my monitor.

Also, I have a laptop with not dedicated graphics card and am wondering if that would work as wel?

So my laptop is a Dell E6410.
I am currently docked most of the time on a 1600x1200 dual monitors.
However, it's native is like 1280x800. Would it be possible for word 100% to be accurate when docked and when undocked?

Btw, thanks for getting my home computer to work.

Unfortunately, I have absolutely no experience with Intel cards whatsoever. However, there should be similar scaling settings in Intel control panel (or whatever it's called).

P. S. Are you sure you're running monitor recommended resolution?
