I am having trouble orientating myself with zooming. I can't see where it says the zoom percentage in the status bar. And I can't find it on the View menu.

I would find it really useful if the zoom tool on the page toolbar toggled between zoom on *at the last remembered zoom* or even at a preset zoom, and zoom off (ie normal page view button - 100%).

When you go from a 100 per cent view to the zoom tool you are starting all over again, whereas during design you might want to zoom in at a preferred percentage and back to normal many times.

Anyone else like zooming?

Best wishes.

Yes, some way to reference the % zoomed, as well as remembering the last zoomed state would be good. Consider them on the list.

Being able to zoom in and out with the scroll wheel on the mouse would be very useful, and "Zoom to Selected".

It has been pointed out to me that you can actually zoom with the mouse wheel now. Just click the mouse wheel to turn it on or off. The point under the mouse is brought to the center of the work-window when zooming in.

I have just picked up on your post, Derry. I would never have thought of clicking the mouse wheel to activate the zoom. You have no idea how frustrating it has been to keep having to pick up the magnifier from the toolbar and then back again to turn it off! Well done, VM. Now how about "Zoom to Selected"?...
