Zooming In and Out on your desktop for Mac

Barb mentioned the zoom feature for your Mac Desktop. I found it by accident and it was quite annoying, because I didn't know how to zoom out. You know how hard it is to search the web or help at 300% +? Ok, maybe it wasn't that high, but it sure seemed like it. I found it in help after some major eye strain and returned it to normal.

Gerritt knew of this right off the bat. He's so tech savvy. : )

Hold the Control key down and with two fingers on the track pad slide up to zoom in and slide down to zoom out. Must use two fingers and must keep control held down.

You can use the scroll wheel on the mouse for the same effect. Hold control and use the scroll wheel up or down.

It is a pretty cool feature when you don't find it by accident. I thought my screen went out of commission. : )
