25% increments are available in the dropdown menu.  If you desire a more specific size, double click on the Scale menu for custom scaling.  Scale settings will be saved per user and will resume on successive sign-ins by the same user.

Other settings that affect display properties can be found by navigating to Settings/Accessibility.  Accessibility settings will reset after signing out.
