I can not find any help on this issue in vs2008 help, Google, or SO.

Scenario:
I'm looking at a source file in vs2008 SP1; Windows 2003 Server SP2 Standard Edition, 1280x1024.

The irrelevant name of this file is index.aspx.

What is relevant is that the file has only 65 lines of code.
The print is unreadably small--less than 4 point. It uses
less than a third of the vs2008 text window vertically and
less that a quarter of the vs2008 text window horizontally.

It's not just index.aspx; e.g. another file with 142 lines
only fills about 3/4 of the vs2008 text window vertically
and less that a quarter of the vs2008 text window horizontally.

Possible cause:
Probably, but not certainly, I found the equivalent of zoom in/zoom out such as one finds in products like
Microsoft Word.

However, I've explored many vs2008 toolbars and other
customization options and unfortunately I can not find
out how to get myself out of this mess.

Window, Reset Window Layout has no effect on the text size;
my tiny text size did not change.

QUESTION: how do I zoom vs2008 text size in and out and back to normal size?

Thank you.
