Using Views commands

You can use Views commands to quickly change your view of the current document. Choose the

following commands in the Layout | Views submenu.

Home view: Displays the upper-left corner of the document at normal (100 percent)

magnification.

Fit to Window: Reduces or increases magnification to the maximum magnification level for

the layout area to fill the document window.

Fit to Selection: Reduces or increases magnification to the maximum magnification level

for the selected objects to be visible in the document window.

Fit to Objects: Reduces or increases magnification to the maximum magnification level for

all objects on the current page, sheet, slide, or frame to be visible in the document window.

Using custom views

You can create custom views to save the current magnification level and position in the document.

To create a custom view:

1. Choose Layout | Views | New View.

2. In the New View dialog box, enter a name for the view and click OK. The new view will appear

beneath Home View in the Layout | Views submenu.

A checkmark appears next to the view name when a custom view is selected. Canvas assigns shortcut

keys (which appear in the menu) so you can quickly select the custom views you have created.

To delete a custom view:

Choose Layout | Views | Delete View.
