Remote Desktop Connection/RDC display is too small on my MacBook screen

Question

Remote Desktop Connection/RDC display is too small on my MacBook screen

I use the free download from MS, RDC version 1.0.3 on my MacBook - to connect remotely to a PC network at my job from home. When I connect remotely the RDC display is very small on my MB screen. Is there anyway to enlarge the display or am I locked into the small size?

iMac G5, Mac OS X (10.4.8), Intel C2D MacBook, 80 GB iPod

Click 'Options' then set the remote screen size to whatever you want.

Thanks, Garreth. When I connect remotely with RDC, I only see "RDC" and "Help" along the top of the screen. The 'Options' link is nowhere to be found; even under each of these two tabs. Is there more than one version of RDC for Mac? It would be great if I can fill my entire MB screen (given it's already 13") with the RDC connection display.

When I open the RDC app (the latest from MS), I have a window with 'connect' and 'quit' buttons, and a box to enter the PC name. There is also an options tab that enables you to set the screen size. If you open the application itself, and not a saved RDC profile, you should see this.
