I tried that and its just scrolling now not changing view.  I also closed the program and got back in...no change

[jeffmcpa2010]

Sorry misspelled hold in my response.

[Kim-Neely--EA]

I caught that...no problem.  That is actually what got me into this problem.  Have been trying to figure this out for 1.5 hours now.  can't get it to work

Hi @Kim-Neely--EA , please try clicking on a row in HomeBase before holding ctrl and scrolling.

If all else fails, shutdown ProSeries, and delete the "OtherAttributes.xml" file in your HomeBase folder, ie C:\ProWin20\HomeBase. Start ProSeries back up and the zoom should be reset.

Thanks   I finally got it to work but this needs to be changed.  A lot of folks are having a problem with this feature.  Needs to be an intentional feature

[Matt C]

Were you able to get the ctrl + scrolling to work, or did you have to delete the xml file?

[greg]

Thanks.  Fixed problem we were having too.

I had the same problem and thankfully found this exchange.  I found NOTHING in Proseries help on the program. This was horribly annoying.  I had to delete the Attributes file.  Whoever heard of scrolling changes to require the deletion of a file?

[CL44]

How did you fix it?

[CL44]

how did you delete the attributes file

[CL44]

how did you get it to work?  My font is so small I can't read it

[jeffmcpa2010]

hold the ctrl key and spin the mouse wheel

[CL44]

BEST ANSWER  IT WORKED!

Hi @CL44 , we released an update to help with this issue. In ProSeries, under HomeBase, can you try using the new menu item, Reset Zoom?

Alternatively, you should also be able to click on HomeBase, then hold down CTRL and scroll (up to make the font larger).

As of 2/9/22, you should be able to use the Reset Zoom menu item under HomeBase:

Alternatively (or if you're using older years of ProSeries), you can

1. click somewhere on the HomeBase grid

2. hold down CTRL and scroll your mousewheel
