Magnifier Gadget; Getting It To Magnify-How ?

Bob, type magnifier in search
When it comes up hit the plus sign. The entire page will magnify.

Put your cursor where you want the focus, then hold down the windows key on keyboard and press the + key next to backspace. Each time you press it, the screen will zoom. Windows plus the - (minus) zooms out. Winkey + = zoom in Winkey - = zoom out.

Mine zooms just by hitting the plus or minus

Hello,

I'm sure I'm doing something really dumb, but cannot seem to get that Magnifier gadget that comes with W7 to work.

When I open it up, I do get the bezel that looks like a magnifier, and I can move it all over the text or a screen just fine, but nothing inside of it seems magnified.

What am I doing wrong, or not doing, please ?

Thanks,
Bob

The part that looks like a little magnifier-glass is an icon only, and is there to provide a place from which you can access it's settings. If you click it, you get this:


Clicking the "Views" option brings up a menu from which you can select "Full Screen", "Lens" or "Docked" options:


I keep mine set to the "Lens" option in magnifier (when I have it running):


If you click the small little gear in the magnifier window, you can access other options and settings:

Same to you Bob, not too much Turkey, now.
