with a plus sign.

smaller.
Left-click that area to zoom-in on a
specific area.

The pointer becomes a magnifying glass
with a plus sign.
2 Click and hold your left mouse button and
drag your mouse to form a flexible box
around the specific area you want to see
in detail.
3 Drag the mouse across the area you want
to zoom-in until it is inside the box.
4 Do one of the following steps:
To increase the zoom, continue
clicking and dragging the flexible box.
By doing so, you can view a single
