Choose a magnification setting
In Form View or Datasheet View, you can choose how much of a form, table, or query you see on the screen.
On the Home tab, select the Zoom option and choose one of the default options of 500%, 200%, 150%, 75% or 50%.
To return the view to 100% zoom, click Zoom 100%. If you prefer to use the keyboard, you can press Ctrl+0.
Access doesn't save zoom settings. Instead, it opens your form at the last zoom level you used. To set a default setting, choose File > Options > Current Database > Application Options and choose the Default Zoom setting.
