Exactly! It's a pain to outline everything in 13 or 12 and then have to reformat to 10 before printing (unless using gigantic font size on purpose). Having styles easily accessible definitively helps, but zooming would be a perfect solution. BTW, just for this reason, I transferred one of the Windows fonts (the one that MS is lately using for their GUI works) and it does help since the font is designed for the screen and its rather crisp and readable at 11 and inline notes at 10. Print is still a bit large at 11, but it falls within acceptable margins.

The other way around this would be to forget about zooming and add an option in the print dialog stating something like:
*reduce or increase all document font sizes by:*
[ ] -2 points .......... [ ] make it *default* for all OO docs
[ ] -1 point .......... [ ] make it *default* for all OO docs
[x] leave as is (default)
[ ] +1 point .......... [ ] make it *default* for all OO docs
[ ] +2 points .......... [ ] make it *default* for all OO docs

Anyways, just an idea :)
