I have a few drawings that I print from within Excel and the text associated with those drawings was so large it was causing issues on a user's PC. We ended up tracing it to the fact that he had the Windows resolution magnifier in Windows 7 set at Medium (125%) which is the default. All of the other users have theirs set at Small (100%). Changing it to Small took care of the problem.

I would like to know if there's a way for me to test that setting in Excel VBA and either give the user a warning message or even if there's a way for me to change it to Small and then return it to the prior state when the workbook is closed.

Thanks for your thoughts.
