Zoom in or out
• To zoom in, select the Zoom tool and click the area you want to magnify. Each click magnifies the view to the
next preset percentage, centering the display around the point you click. At maximum magnification, the center of
the Zoom tool appears blank. To zoom out, hold down Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) and click the area you
want to reduce. Each click reduces the view.
• To magnify to the next preset percentage, activate the window you want to view and choose View > Zoom In. To
reduce the view to the previous preset percentage, choose View > Zoom Out.
• To set a specific magnification level, type or choose a level in the Zoom Level box in the application bar.
In Mac OS, you can display the zoom percentage in the status bar by hiding the application bar (Window > Application
Bar). In Windows, you cannot hide the application bar.
• To zoom in or out, press Alt (Windows) or Option (Mac OS) while using the mouse scroll wheel or sensor.
• To magnify by dragging, select the Zoom tool and drag around the area you want to magnify.
