DISCUSSION


    You can change the resolution of your monitor to zoom in for detail work or to zoom out and see a whole page or more at a time. To change your screen resolution, follow these steps:

    1) Choose Control Panels from the Apple menu.

    2) Double-click the Monitors icon to open the Monitors control panel.

    3) Make the following choices in the control panel:

    NOTE: The choices you see in this window depend on what hardware you
    have.

    1) If you have more that one monitor, click the Identify button to see
    how your monitors are numbered. (If you only have one monitor, you
    will only see one choice.)

    2) Click the icon of the monitor you want to change.

    3) Choose when you want the change to take place - after you close this
    window or when you restart your computer.

    4) Click the Options button to see what resolutions you can choose.

    5) Choose a resolution. Click the resolution you want. Click the arrows
    in the scroll section to see if there are more choices. If you don't
    see any options for changing resolutions, you may have selected the
    wrong monitor in the control panel. (Not every monitor can change
    resolutions.) Click Cancel then try step 3 again.

    6) Click OK to return to the main window of the Monitors control panel.
    Depending on which option you selected in the control panel, the new
    resolution will be displayed either as soon as you close the dialog box
    or when you restart the computer.

    7) Close the Monitors control panel by clicking the close box in the
    upper-left corner.

    IMPORTANT: Make sure you don't leave the Monitors control panel open or
    your monitors may not behave as you expect.

    8) If the image is distorted, adjust the controls on the monitor itself.
