Action Zoom
Zoom in to Ease Outlook Induced Eyestrain
One great new feature of Outlook 2007 is the ability to zoom in or out on the text and images in the bodies of e-mail messages, calendar entries, tasks, and contacts. If you’ve ever had trouble reading stuff in Outlook because the text is too small, you’re going to love this. The Zoom command is quick and easy to use, and the benefits of being able to zoom will be clear to anyone who spends their day squinting at their monitor. Learning to use Zoom will only take a few minutes, and will free you from some eyestrain.
While Zoom is simple to use, there are a few more things to know when you use it.
When you start using Zoom yourself, you will quickly find that text and images in the body of a message, contact, etc. will zoom in and out, but the menus, toolbars, and the like don’t change. Only the part of the item where you could enter large amounts of text and images zooms. This means that the body of a message, calendar entry, or task can be zoomed, and a contact’s notes field. Nothing else changes when you zoom in or out. (But keep reading because there are things you can do to make column headers and the like easier to read)
Here’s what else to know about Zoom:
- The item has to be in its own window. Zoom doesn’t work in the Reading Pane.
- If you want to zoom in on the body of a message, you point the mouse at a spot in the message body and click the mouse button to activate the Zoom command. If the area the cursor is in right now isn’t zoomable (say the Subject line of a message), the Zoom menu option is dimmed.
- You will find the Zoom command in the Other Actions menu for messages, and in the Zoom group of the Format Text tab of the Ribbon for other Outlook items.
Zoom is an easy way of adjusting the areas in Outlook that are zoomable. You can’t use Zoom to do it, but you can still modify things like column headings and menus. just much more complicated and time consuming. A good compromise approach that improves readability without too much work is to use the Zoom command wherever possible, and just accept minor annoyances like too-small column headings.
