There are a number of usability adjustments inside and [[#Windows Resolution|outside of Agency Systems]] which can be used to increase the displayed [[#Font Size|font size]] and other items. 

Although Microsoft provides an option to [[Display_Issues_Printing_Forms_or_Viewing_Window_Buttons#Resolution|adjust only the text size]], using this option [[Display Issues Printing Forms or Viewing Window Buttons|can cause issues with display fields and printed text]]. 

== Font Size ==
There are two user settings for font sizes within Newton that are available to each individual user. 

=== Band Font Size ===
The band font size increases the font used by the text bands on the [[User Dashboard Tab]], [[Client Tab]], [[Policy Dashboard]], [[Management Tab]], [[Company Tab]], [[Vendor Tab]] and more.
#Select '''Setup -> [[Preferences]]'''.
#Select the '''User Options''' tab.  
#Select '''Band font size''' and choose Larger Size 1 or Larger Size 2. 
#:[[File:Preferences-user-bandfont.png]]
#Select '''Save''', then '''OK'''. 
#Select '''Log Off''' to close Newton and [[Log in to Newton by Agency Systems|log back in]] for the change to be applied. 

=== Memo Font Size ===
The '''Memo Font Size''' value controls the text size for [[Policy_Dashboard#Activity|Activity -> View and Entry]], [[Client_Tab:_Client_Dashboard#Client_Notes|Client Notes]], [[Company_Tab#Notes|Company Notes]], [[Diary|Diary -> Comments]], [[Policy Dashboard|Policy Dashboard -> Policy Summary Panel (right)]], [[Policy_Dashboard#Preview_Pane|Policy Dashboard -> Preview Pane and Policy Bulletin (bottom)]], [[Submission| Submission -> Comments]], and the [[User_Dashboard_Tab#Preview_Pane|User Dashboard Tab -> Preview Pane]].

#Select '''Setup -> [[Preferences]]'''.
#Select the '''User Options''' tab.  
#Select '''Memo font size''' and choose Larger Size 1 or Larger Size 2. 
#:[[File:Preferences-user-memofont.png]]
#Select '''Save''', then '''OK'''. 
#Select '''Log Off''' to close Newton and [[Log in to Newton by Agency Systems|log back in]] for the change to be applied. 

== Configure Forms ==
Increasing the '''Schedule Window Size''' will adjust the text and field '''display size''' for schedule entry fields such as drivers, vehicles, properties and equipment.  The Configure Forms settings are shared by all Newton Users and require administrative access. ''(Requires [[Producer Profile|Producer (User) -> Security Level -> 9]])''

#Select '''Setup -> Configure Forms'''. 
#Select '''All Forms'''.  This will open the the [[Forms: Configure Forms|All Forms Configuration window]]. 
#Change '''Schedule Window Size''' to a larger setting. 
#:[[File:Menu-configureforms-allforms.png]]
#Select '''OK''', then '''Close'''. 
#Select '''Log Off''' to close Newton and [[Log in to Newton by Agency Systems|log back in]] for the change to be applied. 

== Windows Resolution ==
If the text size for the entire computer does not display not large enough, the best alternative is to lower the screen resolution.  If the screen resolution is reduced, everything will display larger on the screen within and outside of Newton. 

#Open the '''Microsoft Control Panel'''. Select '''Appearance and Personalization'''. Select '''Display'''. Select '''Adjust Resolution''' in the top left of the window.
#:(Optionally '''Right-Click''' on the desktop and select '''Screen Resolution'''.)
#Select the '''Screen Resolution''' drop-down, and move the slider down reducing the setting to one of the lower named resolutions.  
#:[[File:Error-display-changeres.png]]
#Select '''Apply''' to view the changes. 
#A preview of the new resolution will display, and the system will prompt to either '''Keep changes''' or '''Revert''' to the previous resolution.
#*There are many different options, so try a few and pick the one that looks the best.  
#*To keep the correct aspect ratio of width and height, try to avoid the tick marks between the named resolutions. (1024 x 768 is the minimum supported resolution). 
#*If multiple monitors are available, each monitor must be individually adjusted.
