I am trying to modify a bunch of older reports I customized years ago when I didnt need fifty pairs of readers of all different magnifications to see. Also, I'm running a 4k Ultra monitor and the text is already tiny but in some apps like the Report Writer the window size is really small and very difficult to see most of the fields. There is no zoom feature in the Report Writer but is there any other way to zoom in/out in an active window while modifying it at the same time ?? Windows Magnifier just gives me a magnified snapshot and not an active window. I did some searching but didnt see anything that looked like it was going to work. I suppose I could hang a magnifier in front of the screen but heck there has to be something a tad more hi-tech than that....no??

Thanks to Anyone !!

Peter,

Thanks for your comments !! I tried the Magnifier the other day but quickly said "there has to be a better way", my reason was exactly as you stated "It takes a little effort to get used to". But in fairness and knowing your expertise I gave it another try this evening. It does work and at least allows me to see what I'm doing. With all the reports I'm modifying I'll be an expert at it in short time !!

My "older eyes" thank you !!

Peter,

Thanks !! Same here, once I "mastered" the WinLogo shortcuts all went very smoothly.


Now for another post on adding a user defined field to the awards report.....can't seem to remember how to do that....
