How can I zoom in and zoom out in Design View?

In Microsoft Access, when you’re working in Design View (for a form or report), you can zoom in and out in a couple of ways, depending on what you want to enlarge—text, controls, or the overall design.

If you’re trying to read small text in a property box, use Shift+F2 for a pop-up zoom editor.

Table/Query Design View doesn’t have a zoom slider—only Form/Report Design does. For tables/queries, adjust column widths manually or use Window controls (like resizing the window).

Tip: If nothing above works, check your Access version (steps vary slightly for 2016, 2019, 365, etc.). The status bar zoom slider is the quickest method for forms/reports.
