choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
Hi
In Word 2002 and previous versions I am able to type in an exact zoom value % in the zoom % box directly on my toolbar. So I click, type in 56 and hit ENTER. Fast. I DO NOT necessarily want to save the % value with the document for future use. I find that I personally change the % value depending on my eyes, the light available where I working and I do not want to drag a slider with a mouse device. Maybe I am being dim but I cant seem to do this in Word 2007 without going all the way to the Zoom dialog box and pressing ALT E and entering the % value and pressing ENTER. It just seems much clumiser. Thanks! |

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
It is clumsier, but all that is required is to click the zoom indicator on
the status bar and type the zoom setting in the dialog box much as before, so if you want 56% type 56 in the box and press enter. If you find clicking the zoom indicator too onerous, you can assign the zoom command to a keyboard shortcut or if you regularly switch between (say) 56% and 100% you could create a macro to toggle the zoom setting and attach that to a QAT button or keyboard shortcut. eg Sub ToggleZoom() With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom If .Percentage = 100 Then .Percentage = 56 Else .Percentage = 100 End If End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lel wrote: Hi In Word 2002 and previous versions I am able to type in an exact zoom value % in the zoom % box directly on my toolbar.

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
Thanks, Graham. I would just like the macro to open the zoom dialog box,
highlight the existing % and then leave me able to type in the value. At present I find that when I access VIEWZOOM the cursor is never in the zoom value box. How should I adjust the code you supplied me with?

Sub MyZoom()
SendKeys "{TAB}{TAB}" Dialogs(wdDialogViewZoom).Show End Sub should do that, and works in Windows XP, but I hear that Sendkeys may not work in Windows Vista. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lel wrote: Thanks, Graham.

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
Graham, this works fine as long as I do not assign the macro to a keyboard
shortcut. WHen I assign it to example CTRL+8, it opens the Zoom dialog box but the cursor is not in the correct place - the % value. WHen I run it from Tools, Macro, Macros, Run Macro it works ok...It does the same in both Word 2002 and 2007. I am running XP op sys. Thx for any advice..

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
I see the same here. I had been testing with the macro attached to a toolbar
button which works as stated. I don't know if there is a solution so I have cross posted to the VBA forum for comment. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lel wrote: Graham, this works fine as long as I do not assign the macro to a keyboard shortcut.

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
You are very kind, Graham. Much appreciated. Out of interest, do you like the
Ribbon? Have you got used to it? I am working between pre-2007 with the good old underscored letters visible and not crowding the screen. I guess I will get used to Key Tips, just find them hard on the eye..At least most CTRL keyboard shortcuts are the same... "Graham Mayor" wrote: I see the same here.

choosing a % Zoom value in Word 2007
Do I like the ribbon? I find it slower to negotiate and far more difficult
to personalise than the old layout I have used for many years. I use 2007 for every day stuff like correspondence using my own templates, but for anything complicated I use Word 2003. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org lel wrote: You are very kind, Graham.
