Re: [MacBook] Zooming while entering text

Try it with the control key. That works for me whether I use the trackpad or the mouse. Apple mouse or Logitech wireless mouse.

My Pro is 2010, not retina obviously. :-)

Doesn't work on my 2012 MacBook Pro w/Retina either.

I suspect it is an added gesture from one of the trackpad tools you can find here and there. For me, it was in JITouch which no longer works in Mavericks and has been deprecated by the developer.

Thanks, but no joy on my MacBook Air. Is there some option I should have chosen for the trackpad which would make this work?

The following command zooms the entire screen in all programs. Hold down the Command key. then use two fingers side by side on the trackpad and drag up to zoom in, and drag down to zoom out. Hope this helps.

I'm a new Mac user with my MacBook Air. It's the 11" model and I find it helpful - read necessary - often to zoom the text size when working on it. I can do this in the Microsoft Office applications and when reading messages in Mail but I have not yet found how to zoom text when I am typing a message in Mail. This must be possible but can someone point out to me how? Thanks in advance, Bryan
