Changing the view magnification

You can change your view of a document by changing the view magnification. Zoom in to enlarge

objects or zoom out to see a larger area.

Zooming changes the view on screen, but doesn’t change the actual size of anything in the

document.

You can zoom with the Magnifying Glass tool, the Zoom controls, and Zoom commands. You can use

magnification levels from 0.0001 to 102400 percent. Normal magnification is 100 percent.

To use a command to zoom:

Choose Layout | Views | Zoom In or Zoom Out. Zoom In increases magnification to the next higher

preset level; Zoom Out decreases magnification to the next lower preset level.

To enter a zoom percentage:

1. Do one of the following:

Choose Layout | Views | Zoom.

Press Ctrl and the slash key (/).

2. Enter a zoom percentage from 0.0001 to 102400 press Enter.
