Zoom in in visual studio 2005

Question

Is there any option to zoom in or out in visual studio '05. Upgrading to '10 isn't an option here. I miss being able to look close up when I need it.

From what I can tell there is no native support, are there any ways to trick it into zooming?

Answer 1

Zoom in the code? Holding ctrl + mouse scroll maybe resolve?

Answer 2

Visual Studio 2010 is the first release which supports zooming on a file. Prior to 2010 there is no zoom like capability. In order to make the text bigger you'll need to bump up the fon size.

• Tools -> Options
• Evironment -> Fonts and Colors
• Change the Size parameter
