James Avery pointed out a Visual Studio tip blog by Sara Ford. While reading the first page of items to see if I should subscribe, I noticed that she had an accessibility macro for increasing the font size. Well, this could come in real handy during a training session, so I thought I’d try it out. It’s not in VS2003. So I decided to create the macro myself. The following snippets were added to the my macros and then assigned to the keyboard. I now have a font size up and font size down for easy training. Thanks for the motivation Sara.
Sub FontUpByTwo()
DTE.Properties("FontsAndColors", "TextEditor").Item("FontSize").Value += 2
End Sub
Sub FontUpDownTwo()
DTE.Properties("FontsAndColors", "TextEditor").Item("FontSize").Value -= 2
End Sub
