How to Make Everything Bigger

[freschij]

This question may be outside the scope of MS Office and so I put it in the Misc. section. When using Windows XP, how do I make things BIGGER in general. For example, when writing in this box, I can go to zoom and it allows me to enlarge everything. And this is great. In many other applications within Windows XP, I don't see an option to do this. Also, when using Internet Explorer 8 and looking at a website, I'd like to be able to do enlarge things.



On Mac/Apple computers it seems much easier. No matter what your doing, you just push Command + to enlarge and Command - to decrease. Is there such an option with Windows?
