Way to make XP readable on laptop?

[Bob]

So I decided to go portable. Now the problem is how to
make text big enough to read. If I use my word processing
program I can pick a percent like 150% so reading is much
easier. This screen is over 14" diagonal but so much is
taken up with msn junk on the left and huge icons on the
top I need a way to enlarge the 10.75" X 7.5" I really get
to use. Any ideas? Thanks, Bob

Go to display properties and change the font size?
