    Forgot your reading glasses? Everyone in your meeting squinting at the screen? Here are a few simple tips to quickly increase the size of what’s displayed on your screen.

    The tips vary depending on if you have Windows 7 or 10. To find out which version you have:

    1.      Click the Start button in the lower left corner of your screen (round on Windows 7 and square-ish on Windows 10).

    2.      Click Control Panel.

    3.      Click System or System and Security. You might need to click System again.

    4.      The version number is listed on the next page.

    If you have Windows 7

    For a quick way to temporarily enlarge a part of your screen, click the Windows Start key (bottom left on your keyboard) and the +. Move your curser around to enlarge different parts of the screen. To exit the magnifier, click the Windows Start key and Esc.

    For a more permanent solution

    1.      Click the round Start button in the lower left corner of your screen.

    2.      Click Control Panel.

    3.      Under Appearance and Personalization, click Adjust screen resolution.

    4.      Click Make text and other items larger or smaller.

    5.      Select desired text size: 100%, 125% or 150%

     

    If you have Windows 10

    For a quick way to temporarily enlarge a part of your screen, click the Windows Start key (bottom left on your keyboard) and the +. Move your curser around to enlarge different parts of the screen. To exit the magnifier, click the Windows Start key and Esc.

    For a more permanent solution

    1.      Right-click on your desktop and select Display settings.

    2.      Drag the slider to the right and click Apply.

    3.      Log off and back on to apply the new setting.

    In the Display settings dialogue box, click the Advanced display settings link to increase only the text on your screens.

    On Internet Explorer

    In the lower right corner, click the icon that’s a + inside a magnifying glass. Keep clicking until the text is large enough, or click the dropdown arrow and choose the level of magnification you want.

    On Chrome

    Click the three vertical dots in the upper right corner.

    In the dialogue box that appears, click + in the Zoom area in the center.

    Inside Microsoft Office programs (Word, Outlook, Excel, etc.)

    On the plus/minus slider in the lower right corner, either click + or slide the center bar to the right.

     

    Do you have another tip for zooming in on your screen?

    FBI Director James Comey and NSA Director Admiral Michael Rogers were among the witnesses at a House Select Intelligence Committee hearing on Russian interference in the 2016 presidential election. Regarding accusations made by President Trump in his tweets that President Obama wiretapped his New York City Trump Tower residence shortly before the November 2016 presidential election, Mr. Comey told committee members neither he nor his agency has any information to support such claims. He also said no president has the ability to unilaterally order a wiretap, and that such an operation must go through a court process and be ordered by a judge.
