EA Beta 7.1.825 - Text Sizing

[james.kinneavy]

I submitted the following "officially", but I would be interested in comments.  I've said this before, but maybe just not loud enough:

I often use EA to do use case modeling in a group session with a projector.  The problem I have is that the text in the notes window and also the scenarios is so small that is difficult to do, but I don't want to change the screen resolution.

I would suggest two things:
1)  Have + / - buttons to increase the view size of the text for both those windows without changing the underlying font.
2)  Be able to increase / decrease the real font size as part of the rich formatting.  I think this is less useful as it could create inconsistencies in documentation if misused, but that should be up to user.

What do others think?

Yes,

This makes sense in the context of the new rich notes feature. Surely it is something that could be handled by the "simple HTML" used to store the notes. Output could be handled gracefully by HTML, RTF, and plain text (which would just produce the 'raw' text).

IMO you should submit the request. Now is the time.

Not sure exactly how much this will help, but the note edit controls are zoomed by holding the control key while using the mouse scroll wheel.

That definitely helps!  Thanks for the tip.  I never thought to check that before (D'oh!).  However, I still think it would be good to allow a font size changes to part or all of the text

Glad to help.

It works, but I've to use the mouse wheel in the Notes window every time I changed focus in the main window.

It wpould be much more useful if the   text size in the Notes window remain the same while changing focus in the main window.
