Since the scroll bars take up
space in your document
window , you may want to hide
them to have more space to
work in.
The View menu provides choices for changing the way you view a
document in a window.
When you open a document, it appears at normal size, the size of the
printed document. When you want to see more of your document at
once, you will zoom out. If you want to make your document look
larger, so that you can see details more clearly, you will zoom in.
Zooming in is like putting a magnifying glass over a small portion of the
document.
" To Zoom In or Zoom Out on a document:
1. To enlarge the size of a page so that you can see more details, choose
Zoom In from the View menu.
2. To reduce the size of a page so that you can see more of it, choose Zoom
Out from the View menu.
3. To return to normal size, choose Normal Size from the View menu.
(Normal size is 100% of the view.)
" To scale a document to fit the window:
Choose Scale to Fit from the View menu. The view percentage changes,
shrinking the document so that an entire page fits in the window at
once, if it can.
" To change the document viewing percentage:
1. Choose View at % from the View menu. The View % dialog box appears.
2. Type a number (depending on the application, you have different
minimum and maximum values), or use the arrow buttons to change the
value in the View (%) box. Click Apply. The percentage you specify is
appliedto the document, and the View % dialog box remainsopen so that
you can experiment with other values. When you have selected the value
you want, click Close to close the dialog box.
