How can I make the text or font size on screen be made larger for Reckon Accounts software?

The size of the Reckon Accounts fonts within the program can be affected by the "Ease of Access" settings in Windows 10, or the "Accessibility" setting in Windows 11.

This is a Windows operating system setting, not a Reckon Accounts setting.

Windows 10

  • To adjust the size of text, apps, and other items, select the Start  button, then select Settings  > Ease of Access  > Display . Use the slider under Make text bigger to make just the text on your screen larger. Or, select an option from the drop-down menu under Make everything bigger to change the size of everything on your screen.

Windows 11

  • To adjust the size of text, apps, and other items, select the Start button, then select Settings Accessibility Text size.
  • Use the slider next to Text size to make just the text on your screen larger. To scale up everything on your screen, select the Start button, then select Settings System Display, and change the Scale drop-down menu under Scale & Layout to a larger percentage.
