I have Windows XP and use Microsoft Outlook. I can change the magnification by holding down "Control" and moving the scroll wheel on the mouse. Hope it works for others!

I started my computer and on the desk-top there |appeared a small window in the background with VERY BIG magnification of |one of my email pages. Goodness, I thought, this is a wonderful thing for |folk whose sight is diminished, though me having had eye ops recently did |not need it, so I sought a means of deleting it from my desk-top. |Eventually I was successful. It seemed strange as to why and how it |suddenly appeared, though I expect it was from a Microsoft Windows |automatic update over the internet, or somehow I had accidently triggered |it off from within XP. Anyway, as there was some mention on one of these |lists recently about needing to view things in BIG PRINT because of |eyesight problems, I thought this might be helpful for those (of us) who |have failing eyesight. It seems that this facility is already ensconced |within Windows XP, though you can download it (probably only for |XP though) |from |http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/downloads/powertoys/xppowertoys.mspx |Hope it works! |Cherrio |Graham | |______________________________ -- No virus found in this outgoing message.
