Is there a ZOOM feature anywhere in Access 2007 Beta???
Siuan 15.07.2006 20:11:01
I'm a new user of Office 2007 Beta with a significant vision problem.

I have figured out how to use ZOOM to increase the view of my documents in
Word and Excel...but the same in Access has eluded me. So far I have had to
resort to increasing the print font in order to see what I'm trying to work
on, however, that means I need to reset that every time I need to print or
the resulting mess is awful.

I realize it's probably something realy simple and silly that I'm
missing...BUT...I have to be able to see it to figure it out. I do remember
there being an option when I set the worksheet up and I had no problems with
it at the time, but when I rebooted I was back to the original size.

Thanks very much for any help you can give me.

Since Access does not have a "document" you will have to be more specific.
Reports in preview mode have a zoom feature. Nothing else does.

If you can't read the text then go to a larger font. If you're saying that
while designing forms and reports you need to make the fonts bigger that you
ultimately want them to be when finished then you really need to change your
display settings and/or get a larger display.

I sympathize with the visual impairment but haven't played with Access
2007 sufficiently to know if there's any new help there. My current
method is similar to yours; crank up the font size until delivery time
and then go back and tweak things back to reasonable sizes for
normally sighted users.

If nothing else is available, the Magnifier has been available for
some time at various levels of difficulty. In Windows XP it's in
Accessories | Accessibility

Access reports can be zoomed in Print Preview only, not in design view.
Access forms cannot be zoomed at all. Windows has an accessibility tool
called Magnifier. If you can't access it through program manager, try
clicking on:

Start ... Run

then type:

magnify.exe
