Change the magnification by default of Mathematica notebooks

Hello all. I want to increase the magnification by default of my notebooks in Mathematica.

I go to Edit/Preferences and then look at Advanced/Open Options Inspector. There I go to Notebook Options/Display and then Magnification. Then I increase the Magnification, say to 1.25

After that I click Apply...but nothing happens!!! No effect whatsoever

There must be a very simple solution to this... Can somebody help me?

Documentation notebooks use a built-in stylesheet and they have disabled editing it using the standard mechanism, grrr... but you can likely go edit the file directly, likely located at 

FileNameJoin[{$InstallationDirectory,"SystemFiles","FrontEnd","StyleSheets","Wolfram","reference.nb"}]

which I learned by running the following in a documentation notebook enter image description here

But Global Magnification is going too far for me.

How would one just change the Magnification of documentation notebooks?

Edit/Preferences/Interface has a PopupMenu for selecting magnification
