Zoom/view button on window

[Steven Day]

Is there any way to activate a zoom/view button on the window of Word? Using
TextEdit and Mellel on occasion, I find this to be most convenient.

TIA.

Hi,

There is a zoom control on Word's standard menu. You can click on it any
time, or assign a keyboard shortcut to it.

In addition, you can turn on zoom in Apple's Universal Access System
Preference. That gives you the ability to zoom in all applications.

Hello Steven,

Further to Jim's advice, if you want to have frequent access to a specific
magnification that suits your display, here is a macro that you could put in
a button or keyboard shortcut. Just change the number to whatever you like:

Sub viewOneHundredAndTenPercent()
'
' viewOneHundredAndTenPercent Macro
'
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 110

End Sub


Cheers,

Thanks Clive and Jim for your replies. These are indeed options. But using
the magnification option on both Mellel and TextEdit made me realize how
nice it would be to have on the window itself.

Best,

Steven
