Zoom from 10% to 1000%
Supported Access views can now be zoomed anywhere from 10% to 1000%, expanding the previous range of 50% to 500%. New 10%, 25%, and 1000% choices are available in the Zoom menu, and the status bar slider supports the full range.
The expanded range is also available when configuring the default zoom level for a database.
Zoom more types of forms
Zoom is now supported in both continuous forms and popup forms.
In a continuous form, zoom scales the repeating records and their controls together, making it easier to read individual records or see more records at once. Embedded continuous forms also scale with their parent form, keeping nested content visually consistent.
Popup forms can be zoomed without changing their underlying design. Because popup forms do not use the standard status bar zoom control, you can zoom them with Ctrl+mouse wheel or the zoom keyboard shortcuts.
Zoom reports in Report View
Zoom is now available for reports in Report View, bringing reports in line with forms, tables, and queries. You can enlarge a report to inspect individual values or zoom out for a broader view of its layout and data.
Reports displayed inside forms also scale with their parent, providing a more consistent experience for databases with nested forms and reports.
Choose how you zoom
Depending on the type of object you’re viewing, you can:
- Select a percentage from the Zoom menu on the ribbon.
- Drag the zoom slider on the status bar.
- Hold Ctrl and scroll the mouse wheel.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+Plus or Ctrl+Alt+Minus to zoom in or out.
- Press Ctrl+Alt+0 to return to 100%.
With a wider range and support for reports, popup forms, continuous forms, and nested content, it’s now easier to tailor your Access workspace to the task at hand—whether that means focusing on the details or taking in the bigger picture.
