Zoom Level Settings in FM 11

[Matt Sullivan]

fwiw, I've gotten used to using the Ctrl-Scroll Wheel to change my zoom settings. Pushing the scroll wheel away (up) makes things smaller, while dragging toward me (down) increases the magnification.

> Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I just noticed that I cannot set custom zoom levels in FM 11. Why was the functionality of the old dialog box (or whatever it was called) removed? And no, I don't mean typing into the percentage/drop-down box--you know, the one that doesn't even look like an entry field until it is rolled over or clicked in. If I had to type the size every time I needed to change zoom level, I'd have the slowest workflow on the planet.

Most technical writers/editors are not programmers and are neither comfortable nor familiar with modifying application files this way. Seems dangerous for workgroups. Isn't that what user interfaces are for?
