Zoom in Report view

[Guest]

I have created a report that has a lot of stuff on it that I need to print
out on a 8.5 x 11 paper, but on the screen I have to use such a small font
that it is hard to read in Report View. It is ok in print preview because i
can zoom in and magify the view in that mode, but I haven't been able to find
any way to magnify the report view.

Is there a way to do this (zoom in) in the report view?

In a quick test, I can't see how to do this either.

You can add the zoom button to the Quick Access Toolbar, but it's grayed out
in Report view.

You can add a command button to a report in Access 2007, and click it in
Report view. But attempting to zoom in report view results in error 2046,
i.e. "The command ... isn't available now."

mbaycura,
What do you mean by ReportView? Are you referring to Report Design View?
(as opposed to Print Preview)
There's no way to Zoom in during report design, but you could try
lowering the resolution on your screen. (ex. drop down from 1024 x 768 to
800 x 600, or even to 640 x 480)
That will make the fonts in design view larger.
When the report is all set, and working properly, adjust your screen back
up to normal resolution.
