Whether you're using a desktop computer, a laptop, or a touch screen device, it is most likely that you're gonna need to zoom in on your Word document to get a closer look at its contents, and then zoom out again. Word 2013 has a lot of options in terms of controlling the zoom feature. First is the Zoom Bar found at the bottom right-hand corner of the Word document. With the Zoom Bar, you can simply slide to the left of the zoom percent indicator to zoom out, or slide to the right to zoom in. You can also use the Zoom dialog to do this. If you have a wheel mouse, did you know that you can use it to zoom in and zoom out too? Of course in touch, there's pinch for zoom out and stretch for zoom in.

Hello again and welcome back to our course on Word 2013. In this section, we’re going to look at Zoom. And in fact in terms of controlling zoom, there are a number of options in Word 2013 and we’re going to start with a very simple one at the bottom right hand corner of the Word 2013 workspace which is the Zoom Bar.
So all I need to do is to put the mouse over the little slider in the middle, click with the mouse, hold it down, and then basically move from left to right.

Going left zooms out so I see more of the document and the text, etc. looks smaller. And if I go to the right I zoom in, the text gets bigger, and I see less of the document at any one time. So really that is zoom.

Now while I’m doing that if you look to the right of the slider, there is an indication of the current percent zoom. So let me just slide to the left again, goes down below 100%, 60%, 50%, 40%, so on then I pull out the right it goes 200, 300, 400%, and so on. Now I can also click on that number and currently it says 100% and if I click on that it opens the Zoom dialog box. And the Zoom dialog box gives me control over zoom in a number of ways, including the ability to select from one of a range of preset zoom levels.

So we’ve got 200%, 100%, 75%. But I can also type in the zoom level that I want. So if I want a particular percentage, say I wanted 82%, I can type 82%, click Enter, and that is now zoomed at 82% or I can use the little rollers at the right there and go through until I achieve the zoom level that I want.

Now there are other options within this Zoom dialog and some of them correspond to commands which are in the Zoom Group on the View tab. Let’s have a look at one or two of them, but I’m going to use the Zoom Group. So I’ll cancel the dialog and for instance the setting of one page here shows one complete page in view. But if I click on multiple pages in this case, I get two pages in view. I can also zoom so that the view includes one page width. So I get the full width of the page even though I don’t get the full height in this case.

Now a couple of other important commands in the Zoom Group the 100% command takes you to 100% zoom. And if you click on the zoom button in the left most button in the Zoom Group, it brings up that Zoom dialog.

Going back to the question of zoom itself, if you look at the bottom right hand corner again, we used the slider. If you use the minus sign and the plus sign at the end they zoom out and zoom in, in 10% increments. So if you want to go to one of those sort of 10% multiple steps, that’s a great way to do that. And if you have a wheel mouse, if you hold the Control key down then using the wheel on the mouse does zooming as well, and some people find that useful. If you zoom out far enough, you actually get multiple pages. So let me go back to 100%.

And the very last thing I’d like to go through with you about zoom is the use of touch because to zoom when you’re using touch, apart from of course using these buttons by tapping on the various buttons in the Zoom Group and so on, you can actually use pinch and stretch.
