I have a form that is too big to view on one screen without scrolling down, is it possible to shrink it so that I can view it all, similar to the facility in Exel? I have tried the Scale & Resize MDE solution that is suggested in the threads but this only resizes your original to fit other screen resolutions - neat idea but it is not what I want as it still shows the original form nut pro-rata to the screen size.

I am not distributing the app so anything I do local to my machine to get it to work is fine.
 
I found the solution myself:
Simply open the form in design view, go to Edit, Select all the objects.

Next go to Format, Group

Then simply reduce the edges of the form to the size you want to view, takes a couple of tries going back and forth to the form/design views.

Finally you need to reduce the size of font to compensate by Select all Objects again.

Any problems or if this is not clear let me know.
