xxiv Modifying the Display of the Ribbon
On a computer running Windows 7, you can change your screen resolution from
the Screen Resolution window of Control Panel.
You set the resolution by dragging the pointer on the slider.
● The density of your screen display You might not be aware that you can change the
magnification of everything that appears on your screen by changing the screen mag-
nification setting in Windows. Setting your screen magnification to 125% makes text
and user interface elements larger on screen. This increases the legibility of informa-
tion, but it means that less information fits onto each screen.
On a computer running Windows 7, you can change the screen magnification from
the Display window of Control Panel.
