shortcut to change document magnification?

[Lee]

I constantly need to go through various magnifications in Word documents. It
interrupts my work flow to have to use the mouse to click in the
magnification box and type in or select a standard magnification figure.

Is there a keyboard shortcut for altering the magnification of the document?
or a simple Word macro?

Here's a macro that should do what you want. Change 75 to your preferred
percentage and assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut or toolbar icon.

Sub MyPreferredMagnification()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 75
End Sub
