I am using Ps 7. When I add text to a map I am working on then resize the map to 50% the text becomes unreadable. I believe that I am making the text large enough to read at 1/2 the size but much of the text has ragged edges and the vertical strokes seem twice as thick as they should, looks like blobs from a leaking pen.
I know that there must be something that I should be doing to the text before I resizes the document but not sure what.
Also if I increase the size of the document it also ruins the text edges.
Should I be resizing to my final size before I add text? I would have to do two separate maps for that, need two final sizes.

Tried looking it up. Said to turn of anti-alias go to Edit -> Preferences -> General. I look there and cannot find anything about anti-alias. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Yes I am working with a .psd and yes I flattened the image before I resized it. I am only resizing it because I need one samll for a web page and a larger pdf file for downloads.
Maybe I need to just make two different documents?
