Access 2003: Can you zoom in while in design mode on a report?

[Guest]

I am trying to build a report that is 4"x3". However, when I am in design
mode, the grids are so small that I can not see if the entries are aligned
like I want them. Is there a way to zoom in on the work you are doing.
Currently, I am making an adjustment, going to print view, back to design
mode, back to print preview, etc.
Any help is greatly appreciated.

I never heard os a way to "magnify" a report in design view.

To get precise alignment of controls, I just set the
Left/Top/Height/Width properties in the property sheet.

Marshall: Thanks anyway. Our IT Group didn't know either. The only
resolution I found was to change my screen properties to 800x600. At leas it
was a way around the issue. I was just surprised, that unlike all the other
MS Office Apps, you could not magnify. Again, thanks for taking the time to
post a reply. I appreciate it.

Well, as usual Stephen might have the answer:

I should have checked there first.

I've never had a need for this kind of thing because I just
set the properties to the exact position I want, but give it
a try.
