Open Internet Explorer 7 (blue e icon)
Option 1. Click once or twice on the magnifying glass. To zoom from 100% left-click on the magnifying glass button, click once more to zoom into 125%, click the third time to zoom back to normal 100% (this is located on the lower right side of the Internet Explorer Window-if you don’t see the magnifying Zoom in click on tools, then toolbars, then status bar)
Option 2. Press and hold down the ctrl and + keys to zoom in. Press and hold down the ctrl and – keys to zoom back
Option 3. If you have a mouse with a scroll wheel; press and hold down the ctrl key on the keyboard, while still holding down the ctrl key; roll the scroll wheel on the mouse back and forth to zoom in and out. Pretty cool huh!
(Note: By default, if you close and re-open Internet Explorer 7 it will return to its normal 100% size, if you wish to change this to maintain the percentage of your choice, change to the percent of zoom you want, you can also click on the little tiny triangle arrow button just to the right of the 100% and then select the percentage you wish to view the webpage in, while still in IE7 click on tools, internet options, advanced tab. Under Accessibility, uncheck “Reset Zoom level to 100% for new windows and tabs.”
Option 4. Click on the page icon in the Internet Explorer 7 Toolbar (upper right), click on text size; larger or largest.
