# Vs.Net for presentations

By Roy Osherove July 16, 2003 In [Off Topic](https://osherove.com/blog/category/off-topic)

**Historical article** · Originally published July 16, 2003; technical details may be outdated.

[Scott Hanselman](http://radio.weblogs.com/0106747/2003/07/16.html#a389) points to a macro that should be useful for code presenters that allows chaning the font size in VS.NET to the appropriate presentation size. Cool.

Another way to do this is by calling your VS.Net _devenv.exe_ with a command line argument specifying the font size in which to display everything:

**C:\\\[My Devenv path\]\\devenv.exe" /fs 40**

this will load vs.net and all fonts in dialogs and source will be set to size 40. very scary!
