This article is for people who use a screen reader program such as Windows Narrator, JAWS, or NVDA with Windows tools or features and Microsoft 365 products. This article is part of the Accessibility help & learning content set where you can find more accessibility information on our apps. For general help, visit Microsoft Support.
Use OneNote with your keyboard and a screen reader, to zoom in or out on a page. We've tested it with Narrator, JAWS, and NVDA, but it might work with other screen readers as long as they follow common accessibility standards and techniques. You'll learn how to temporarily change the size of what’s on the page without messing up any formatting.
Note
- New Microsoft 365 features are released gradually to Microsoft 365 subscribers, so your app might not have these features yet. To learn how you can get new features faster, join the Office Insider program.
- To learn more about screen readers, go to How screen readers work with Microsoft 365.
Zoom in or out in OneNote
You can zoom in on a page to make the page content appear bigger and inspect a specific part of it up close. If you want to shrink the page content to review more of your notes at once, you can zoom out.
To quickly make the content on a page appear bigger or smaller, you can use the Zoom group options on the View ribbon tab with keyboard shortcuts.
Tip
If your computer has a touch screen, place two fingers on the screen, and slide your fingers apart to zoom in or slide them together to zoom out.
On the page which you want to zoom, do one of the following:
- To zoom in, press Alt+W, E. Repeat this step until you've reached the magnification level you want.
- To zoom out, press Alt+W, W. Repeat this step until you've reached the reduction level you want.
- To set a specific zoom level, press Alt+W, Q, type the zoom percentage you want, for example 150, and then press Enter.
To go back to the default zoom level of 100%, press Alt+W, 1.
