I think generally developers, maybe not hard core developers, are messing around with designs in Access, so thus not a superuser question. Unless he's doing a program to track his mp3's or something. – Knox May 23 '10 at 21:51

It's not a programming question. It's a "use of user interface" question. It's not even a question about designing a UI for a custom Access application. I can't see how questions about how to use an application belong on SO at all. – David W. Fenton May 24 '10 at 16:28

You can always change your screen resolution for when you're working in it. That would make the text larger.

While it would be a very nice feature, MS has never seen fit to provide it. However, you might want to check out Layout view, which is quite useful. It allows you to design the report while viewing real data. I just checked A2010 and I don't see any Zoom there, either.

Although a good answer (changing screen resolution) was already given and accepted, I will point out that in Windows 7, you could press the windows key and the + key and temporarily zoom in and out (by pressing the windows and minus key).

You could also use the Windows Magnifier tool. It's not the perfect solution, but you don't have to change your screen resolution, and you can view the zoomed window while still seeing the normal-sized application, similar to the thumbnail view when zoomed in MS Paint.
