Visio 2007 Right-click zoom ability

[Mearshon]

Hello everyone,
I received a question from my electrical engineer when I updated his Visio
to 2007 from 2003. Apparently when he right-clicked on his document one of
the items in the right-click menu was zoom. Apparently that is not in the
2007 version and I was wondering if there is any way to put the zoom entry
into the right-click menu.

Thanks for any help that you might be able to provide.

I'm not sure if this might be an acceptable alternative, but, try this.
Tools=>options=>general
selecting the top two drawing options (zoom on roll with Intellimouse and
Center Selection on zoom) might be usable. It's what I use.

Hello Tim,

Just adding to Al's comment, and I must admit that change to the context
menu had passed me by, I tend to use the customized toolbar route (View /
Toolbars / Customize). For example you can add preset zoom settings of
Page, 150%, 100%, 75%.

If you do choose this route then you might also be interested in this post:

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the responses. I have forwarded these tips to my electrical
engineer to see if they will work for him.
I know that he was just very used to the ability to right-click and zoom so
I was just trying to find a solution for him.
