age, the smaller everything looks — and the more you can see onscreen

Word, Excel, and PowerPoint all have the same Zoom controls,
located in the bottom right of the window. (There are also zoom con-
trols on the View tab in each application.) Figure 1-14 shows the
Zoom controls on the status bar.

the slider) to slightly zoom out (minus) or in (plus).
➟
Clicking the number of the current zoom percentage

only an onscreen adjustment.

Change the View
Each Office application has a variety of viewing options available.
Each view is suited for a certain type of activity in that application. For
example, in Word, you can choose Draft view, which is speedy to work
with and presents the text in a simple one-column layout. Or, you can
choose a Print Layout view, where you can see any special layout for-
matting you applied, such as multiple columns.
