• 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.
