Zoom Level Settings in FM 11

[Craig Ede]

While this may not meet your needs, you can affect all (or just the selected) files in a book by choosing View > Zoom and choosing In, Out, 100%, Fit Page in Window (plus a couple of others). I find this useful since my monitor happens to fit the page to a full size window at 84%. The fact that this affects multiple files more than makes up, to me, for the loss of the ability to designate exactly which size to zoom to. If I need some particularly gargantuan size factor for a given file, I just type it into that percentage box you complain about.

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.

Seriously, are users expected to modify an .ini file just to set zoom-level settings? (I understand from Shmuel's tip on Rocky Mountain Training's blog that it's maker.ini line 95.) 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?
