Is there a + and - zoom button in Visio Professional 2003?

I am used to the older version of Visio Professional with a "+" and a "-"
zoom button. I recently purchased Visio Professional 2003, and I do not see
the + and - zoom buttons. I have tried configuring the toolbars, and can not
locate them. The Standard Toolbar has the pull down zoom window with
percentage, and the view toolbar has the pan and zoom window. These seem a
bit cumbersome to me, and I miss the days where you could select an object,
and click on the + or - button, and zoom in/out on the object you are focused
on. You could even configure the zoom to automatically center on the
selected object when zooming in + button, and zooming out -button. Please
help!!

Paul,
Thank you for your help, but when I clicl on the black arrow, go to add or
remove buttons, and click on the standard toolbar, there is only an option
for Zoom on or off. I can select zoom, in which case it shows the pulldown
window with percentages, or it deselects zoom, and shows nothing.
I am looking for a '+' button and a '-' button that will zoom on the
selected objet.
Can you help?
Thank You!

Ah, yes, forgot about that bit !
menu Tools - Customize
and click on the commands tab
Select the View category and you will see the Zoom Out and Zoom In
buttons, drag and drop these on the toolbar.

THANK YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Hi Mike...

If you're more or less "keyboard-centric" like a lot of us you'll find then
pressing control (Ctrl) and rolling the mouse wheel up or down will zoom in
or out as well. I like this as there isn't so much mouse movement - I find
it faster once you're comfortable with using both keyboard and mouse
together. Also you can scroll up/down and left/right with that wheel and
shift or no shift.

Hi Al,

you are right using keys with mouse-action is far more easy
but aren't you confused with ctrl+shift+left mouse click (for increasing)
and right mouse (for decreasing)?
because ctrl+rolling mouse wheel up or down doesn't zoom in/out

that saying I don't know which advanced mouse you use

Anyone know of a way to change the AMOUNT of zoom that occurs when using the
Ctrl+mouseWheel ? I am using Visio2007 and when I zoom out
it jumps from 100% to 200%. Smaller increments are better for the work I am
doing.
Thanks,
Steve

Hello Steve,

Not directly I'm afraid. You might want to have a look at this thread:

http://groups.google.co.uk/group/mic...oll+wheel+zoom

If you're dealing with a small set of prefered zoom levels you might find
the toolbar customization the best route. Here's a link to about toolbars,
which contains another about how to customize them:

http://visualsignals.typepad.co.uk/v...-your-too.html

Hope that helps.

Best regards

John
