Hello Rdubois,
Thank you for posting to Microsoft Vista Community Forums.
Using Ctrl Key on the keyboard and scrolling the mouse wheel should help you in increasing and decreasing the size of the WordPad display. You may also use the same keys for increasing or decreasing the size in applications like Internet Explorer and Microsoft Office applications too.
Hope it helps.
Thanks and Regards,
