the Reading Pane isn't set up to do this. It's set up to display one or two

page is designed to be easily scanned by the eye, and is not adjustable.



I understand the intent of reading view and have scanned all the help files
about it. I like the clarity of the text, but without a magnifing glass it is
not very useful. The page comes out looking just slightly larger than a
thumbnail of the doc. At least 50% of the available screen is just blue grey
background. Anything I can do to trick it into thinking it should display on
a 21" screen ? then maybe it would blow up a little more.
