Zoom to cursor location on page?

[jvk]

Does anyone know how to change the settings to when i'm ctrl+scrolling that
it will zoom to where my cursor is on the page and not to the center of the
page.

Using Visio 2003

The weird thing is I have other co-workers using the same Visio 2003 and
theirs automatically zooms to the cursor location.
Under Tools->Gen tab. I have Enable live dynamics and Enable connector
splitting checked. My other co-workers have all of these checked as well and
they zoom to the cursor. I'm confused as how to change the settings so i am
able to zoom to cursor.

Anyone have any ideas? It would be greatly appreciated..
Thanks in advance.

If you select that checkbox it only zooms to what you have selected. If you
don't have anything selected it zooms to the center of the page.
I would like for it to zoom to the cursor whether something is selected or
not.

Visio 2003.
"I would like for it to zoom to the cursor whether something is selected or

That's exactly how it behaves on my computer.

Yea..... Sucks for me i guess. There must be different version of Visio 2003,
because these settings don't zoom to cursor for me. Other people in the
office using visio don't have the problem, theirs zooms to cursor, just mine
doesn't.

Looks like i'm SOL. Maybe ill see if there's any updates i can run to maybe
fix it.. Thanks for the help though guys.

My 30 years in computers suggest you let your colleagues have a try on your
computer.

Yea already have... Does the same thing to them.

I'm using Visio2007 Pro and mine zooms to selected objects. I'm not sure
what you mean by zoom to 'where the cursor is'. Do you mean where the mouse
pointer is?

What i'm talking about is when you ctrl+scroll it centers the page where your
cursor is located at. If you cursor is at the bottom right corner of the
page, that is where the page centers to.

Once you get used to cursor zooming, zooming to selection or center of page
is very very annoying and hard to adjust back to. What i do now since i'm
unable to figure out how to change this, is i hold Ctrl+Shift+left click and
that zooms to where you cursor is located at. If you right click while
holding ctrl+shift it zooms back out.

I think the correct term for what you're calling the cursor is actually
'mouse pointer'. I understand now what you're talking about. When I
'Ctrl+Shift+Left Click' it zooms to where my mouse pointer is. I like that
too.

When I Ctrl+Scroll it doesn't work. I'm using a mouse with a scroll-wheel,
but I'm not using IntelliMouse software. I think what Paul Herber was
suggesting is that if you are using IntelliMouse software and you set the
option on the General tab in the Options window, scrolling with the mouse
wheel will do what you're wanting. Are you running IntelliMouse?
