If you’re having trouble reading what’s on a web page, you’ve likely tried the Text Size options from the View menu: Largest, Larger, Medium (the default), Smaller, and Smallest. (In IE7 the View menu doesn't appear by default, so you'll have to tap the Alt key on the keyboard to make it visible.) If you’ve used this option you know how it can affect a web page’s layout. Often the text runs over images or other text and the whole page turns into something you’d rather run from than read. A better option is Page Zoom.
Unlike the Text
Size options, Page Zoom works by protecting the original design of the Web page you're viewing, because Page Zoom, does just that. It zooms in on the entire page. This maintains the page's integrity, layout, and look, and no text ever runs over other text or images on the page.
You can find the Page Zoom options on the Command Bar but it's much easier to use the link at the bottom right of the browser window, on the Status bar. Just click it to show zoom options. [See Image 1]
To try out Page Zoom features:
1. Open Internet Explorer and browse to a web page.
2. Click the arrow located at the bottom right of the Status bar to show the Zoom options.
3. Click 150%.
4. Repeat and click 200%.
5. Use the scroll bars to navigate the page.
