              •  Have two views of the same area at different quality settings (quality settings are
                described later.)

              Choose "WINDOW" > "NEW VIEW" to open another window. You can have several windows
              open on the same document. Additionally, Ctrl+Tab will allow you to flick between
              windows.


              Changing the zoom value

              It’s often useful to enlarge your view of the document to examine details or reduce your
              view to get an overall impression. Scalings above 100% show an enlarged view (similar
              to looking through a magnifying glass); below 100% a reduced view. The only change is
              your view of the document; the size of the document itself and the objects in it are
              unchanged (changing the document size is described later). To change the zoom value
              you can use either the ZOOMTOOL, mouse, or control bars.

              Some shortcuts are available for quick setting of zoom values: The plain numeric keys (1,
              2, 3, 4) set the zoom to between 100% and 400%. The number 5 key sets it to 50%.
              Using the Zoom Tool
                      To zoom:


              •  Select the ZOOM TOOL from the MAIN TOOLBAR.
              •  Or press "Alt + Z" to toggle between the current tool and the ZOOMTOOL.
              •  Or press and hold down "Alt + Z" to temporarily swap to the ZOOMTOOL (release "Alt +
                Z" to return to the previous tool).
              •  Or press "Shift + F7" to select the ZOOMTOOL.

              Changing the zoom value using the mouse

              If you have a mouse wheel:

              •  Hold "Ctrl" and scroll your mouse wheel to change the zoom level.

              You can also configure a mouse button to zoom in or out. Furthermore, you can change
              the mouse wheel action between scrolling and zooming in "UTILITIES" > "OPTIONS" >
              "MOUSE TAB (ON PAGE 633)" or right click and choose "PAGE OPTIONS" > "MOUSE" tab. The
              opposite action is available then by pressing "Ctrl".

              Alternatively, select the ZOOMTOOL, and
              •  Click to zoom in (enlarge).
              •  "Shift + click" to reduce the zoom value (to see more of the document).
              •  Drag the mouse diagonally to create a rectangle. When you release the mouse button,
                the area within the rectangle is enlarged to fit the window.
