Discovered this by accident, and it seems to work on many Windows applications --

Holding down the Ctrl key and using the mouse wheel, you can zoom in and out of what you're looking at. Works on MS Office programs, the Firefox browser, and this special purpose programming thingie I use at work (Rockwell RSLogix 5000.) My laptop at work has a large screen, 1680 x 1050 pixels, which comes in handy for a lot of things but sometimes text shows up small and my eyes aren't getting any younger... Fast zooming is really nice.

Got a handy tip? Share 'em.
