How can I make the newspaper text larger in ProQuest's Historical Newspapers?

  • Use the Adobe Snapshot Tool:
    1. If you don't find the Snapshot Tool on the Adobe toolbar, right-click on the toolbar, click edit, move down and click on the Snapshot Tool. It will then appear on the toolbar.
    2. Now you can go to the tool bar and click on "Snapshot Tool." Then click on the top left-hand part of the newspaper text you want to enlarge and drag, creating a blue box, selecting the portion of the document you want to print. Once you have the box, click print on the toolbar. The print preview will show you what your text selection should look like when printed.
    3. If you want to, you can select "fit to paper" from the "Page Scaling" drop-down menu.This will enlarge the image to fill most of the page.
    4. Repeat the process for each section of the page you want to print.
