How can I quickly access the Microsoft Word zoom setting on a Mac?

Solution 1:

For MS Word Mac: You zoom by holding the Command and CTRL key while scrolling the mouse wheel. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070113120847965

Solution 2:

On my Macbook Air, I can hold "control" and "command" and slide two fingers on the touchpad down and up to zoom in and out, respectively, within Microsoft Word 2011.

Solution 3:

Depending on which version of Word you are using you can hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel (or whichever button you use to scroll!) and this will zoom in and out.

This works with a lot of other Microsoft applications.

Solution 4:

In the 2011 version, I just selected Tools → Customize Keyboard, and under view I selected viewzoompagewidth and set a custom keyboard shortcut. I chose Command+Control+Right Arrow, Left Arrow.

In other words, while holding command and control, press the right arrow and left arrow keys.
