Zoom problems

[Carlos N]

What exactly are valid Visio zoom factors? For instance, zooms between
92% and 108% display exactly the same on the screen. What is the point
of having multiple zoom levels if only a small handful are actually
valid? Am I missing something?

Visio tries to automatically adjust the zoom level to choose sensible
grid, ruler and snap behaviours. You can certainly change the
behaviour of a document by setting the Zoom Behaviour, e.g.

thisDocument.ZoomBehavior = visZoomVisioExact

This changes Visio to zoom to exactly the value you set.

thisDocument.ZoomBehavior = visZoomVisio

THis changes back to the default value.

Thanks for this handy tip....but where do I find or enter this information?
How do I open what? I know how to open the shapesheet...is that where? if
so does it matter where in the shapesheet? or do I open something else?

I was out a few weeks and hadn't seen these responses to my original
posting. I too could not find anything in the document's shape sheet.
Andy's response makes it seem like this is a property to access via VBA.
Is this correct? If so, it would also appear that you have to do it
each time you start a new document where you want the change.

Andy, if you read this, could you clarify?

Well, I answered my own question (try before posting, right

Indeed, you can carry this out through VBA. Furthermore, the setting is
not sticky. If you save and reopen the document, you will have to issue
the command again.

Now, if I could only find a way to make 100% actually show up as 1" is
1" on my monitor....
