Zooming in or out for a better view

Normally, everything you see on-screen is displayed at 100 percent. You can change the zoom percentage from 10 percent (very tiny) to 400 percent (huge). Using a small zoom percentage can help you to get a bird’s-eye view of your worksheet to see how it’s laid out.

Zooming in is useful if your eyesight isn’t quite what it used to be and you have trouble deciphering tiny type. Zooming doesn’t change the font size, so it has no affect on printed output.
Figure 14-5 shows a window zoomed to 10 percent and a window zoomed to 400 percent

You can zoom in or out for a better view of your worksheets.

You can easily change the zoom factor of the active worksheet by using the Zoom slider located on the right end of the status bar. Drag the slider, and your screen transforms instantly.

Another way to zoom is to choose View?Zoom?Zoom, which displays a dialog box. Choosing View? Zoom?Zoom To Selection zooms the worksheet to display only the selected cells (useful if you want to view only a particular range).

Zooming affects only the active worksheet, so you can use different zoom factors for different worksheets. Also, if you have a worksheet displayed in two different windows, you can set a different zoom factor for each of the windows.
