Actually, when I saw the request for a zoom feature I immediate thought of Crystal reports. I was using CR IX today and had to do exactly what you want to do in the report designer. I zoomed in to 200% no problem in CR - and you can go very high, to like 800% if you really want to zoom in.

I know what you mean. Some years ago I was editing a label report manually to get the lable size correct. They were quite small labels and weren't lining up by the bottom of the page. The mouse was useless as I was editing the size in MICRO metres in the end. Twas not fun. -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of MB Software Solutions General Account Sent: Wednesday, 25 February 2009 9:25 AM To: [email protected] Subject: I sure wish you could zoom the Report Designer window!!! VFP9SP1 Ugh...I'm editing a legacy report that uses VERY SMALL fonts as well as lines/borders around textboxes and my mouse is like using a hammer for microscopic surgery! I wish the Report Designer had a zoom feature! The only alternative I can think of would be to use that Magnifier tool I saw Steve Sawyer use at WhilFest many moons ago. Perhaps in this era of big companies spinning off their smaller tools (like GM getting rid of Saturn and Saab for example), M$ will spin off Foxpro to a German company (since the Germans seem to be big time users of Foxpro---well, you could say the Chinese are the biggest users, but that's all pirated...LOL). Then, the new company will add a Zoom feature in VFP 10. Yeah I know....Ed will convert from the BigFlyingSpaghettiMonster (?) to Christianity before that ever happens!!!! <gd&r> [excessive quoting removed by server] _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/00dd01c996e0$a3391e40$e9ab5a...@net ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
