    Hi Mary
    For Surveys and some other materials have you considered making them larger for seniors.   Some of my seniors fill out the surveys not all .  My observation they need to be larger.

    Hi Patricia,

    Regarding Project Outcome surveys: if you are providing paper copies to workshop participants that you are then later entering into the Project Outcome platform, those paper surveys can look however works best for your workshop participants. As long as the questions are the same, you can change the font size or make other adjustments to fit the needs of your participants. 

    I hope that helps!

    Patricia - my suggestion did envision you creating your own version of the survey in Word and making the font size as large as needed for printing. I don't think there is a way to easily enlarge the font using images from the PDF. Sorry for not being clear on that.

    Also, don't forget if using the online version of the survey, this gives you an excuse to show workshop participants how to use the zoom feature in their browser to make the text larger!

    Thanks!
