Unfortunately, I don't think there's much of a workaround to this. It's not just Doc, several of our products don't scale well with non-default DPI settings.
One possibility is to set the fonts to 100% then lower your screen resolution so everything is effectively bigger- but this has the downside of giving you less real-estate to work with. Some of the windows accessibility tools such as "Magnifier" may also be of help.
Ideally we'll be able to sort out the products in the longer term so that they do scale correctly in a configuration such as yours though. -
Have you tried using the ZoomIt tool from Sysinternals (now part of Microsoft)?

This might help in cases where changing the font directly doesn't.
You can also find the latest version at the following location:

To change your default text size in Windows 7, you can do the following:
* Right-click the desktop and click Personalize
* Click on the Display link in the lower left corner of the window.
* Change the radio button to 125% or 150%
* Log out and log back into Windows
* Open SQL Doc and connect to a database
* Expand a database and click on the Tables folder
* If you can see the "Edit..." link, then edit the Description extended property of a table or column and create a long description with no line breaks.
* The edit links will magically disappear and you won't be able to scroll to see it
There are also a few places where the UI is out of whack, like on the Help -> About window. If you open this window, you can't see the version number of the product.
Is there any workaround for this (besides resetting the text size to 100%)? I am running SQL Doc version 2.0.0.733 (yes, I had to scale my text size down to read the value).
