Zoom: Wheredigo?

[seo]

I'm using Word 2004/Mac 10.3.9/Ibook G4.
For some reason the Zoom box has disappeared off the toolbar. If I go
to View/zoom, it's still there and works all right. I've looked for all
the help topics under Word help that have to do with zoom and/or
toolbars, and they are marvelously uninformative. I have looked under
view/toolbox and view/toolbars, and can't find the control for turning
the zoombox on and off, if that's what the problem is.
The zoombox is still there in Excel.
It seems like this is just a stupid mistake that I made, turning the
feature off, and then forgetting where the control is.
Any help would be appreciated.

Among other approaches one direction to get to the isue is
Tools>Customize>Customize Menu & Toolbars. On the Toolbars page click the
*name* of the Standard Toolbar then click Reset.

If that doesn't do it post back for other ideas.

Dear [whoever],

Go to Tools => Customize => Customize Toolbars/Menus, and under the Toolbar
tab, select the menu bar entry, then hit the Reset button on the right-hand
side; this will restore your menu.

I use a couple of buttons on a toolbar for the most frequent zoom values I
use. Post back if you would like details.

Sorry, my Entourage listing showed this post as unanswered. Now I see the
redoubtable Bob had answered!

I found the same thing and then I realized why: For some reason Bob dropped
the word "zoom" from the title of his reply which consequently turned it
into a "new" thread .

Bob didn't do it - it must have been OE (sent from work) or the server. I
rarely even enter into the Subject Field when replying.

Oddly that reply doesn't even show up *at all* in Ent. at home!

Golly gosh, Bob!

I speak as one who is well practised in pilot error (when in the Air Force,
I chalked up many hours of looking after the wheel in the right-hand seat
flying across Australia, but never dared, and was never trusted I suspect,
to do take-offs and landings).

So I experienced about 5 seconds of high empathy with you after reading
Beth's post, until I opened yours and found that notion unsupported by the
facts.

Ah well, one more bit of empathy drifts off irrelevantly into the ether...

Cheers,

Ehhh... Landings are easy... You sit there and hope the noise doesn't
start...

*Walking* and *No smoke* = perfect result. Lotsa smoke = problem. Lotsa
smoke and "not walking" = *Someone else's problem*.

Take-offs are easy too... You sit there and hope the noise doesn't *stop*
.... If the noise *does* stop, see above under "walking" and "smoke".

Cheers

Hello Clive!

I certainly didn't mean to suggest that I am without error - just take a
look at the miscue in my reply to "Where's the newsletter template?"

In fact, my point was more that I have enough trouble trying to precisely
excise from mid-string something like " Zoom:" when making an overt effort
to do so. The possibility of having accomplished same *inadvertently* is
what exceeds my grasp! It would be different if something had been
*inserted* or knocked off one end or the other, but to accurately extract
just that specific portion of the Subject without having so much as a vague
awareness of doing so... I simply can't afford drugs of that quality

None-the-less, your fleeting empathy is appreciated ;>)
