Nifty Zooming With the Mouse

Summary: Want to use the mouse to control the zoom level for your document? You can do it by combining your mouse use with the Ctrl key. (This tip works with Microsoft Word 97, Word 2000, Word 2002, Word 2003, and Word 2007.)

If you zoom in and out of your documents quite a bit, you may get tired of using the pull-down zoom control on the toolbar. If you have a mouse that has the wheel between the two buttons, you can do a neat trick. All you need to do is hold down the Ctrl key as you turn the small wheel. Each click of the wheel, up or down, increases or decreases the zoom factor by 10%.

Tip #1293 applies to Microsoft Word versions: 97 | 2000 | 2002 | 2003 | 2007
