When you are working in Microsoft Paint, you may find yourself needing a closer look at your pictures or designs. Luckily, there are a few short cuts that you can use to zoom in that will quickly become second nature!
Steps
Using the Control Key
Open Microsoft Paint. Select the application from the Start Menu or your Finder. Once it has opened, locate the picture that you wish to view.
Center what you wish to view. In order to zoom in on the exact location you wish to view, you should make sure that the picture is centered on your screen.
