Step 1: Use the Zoom Tools 

The quickest way to zoom your view of the document is to use the Zoom control on the Standard toolbar. Click the drop-down arrow to display the list of zoom percentages, and click a percentage (such as 200%) to zoom your view. 

 

 

 

Step 2: Your View is Zoomed 

Word zooms your view of the document based on the selection you made in step 1 (in this case, 200%). 

 

 

Step 3: Open the Zoom Dialog Box 

To specify an exact zoom percentage, open the View menu and select Zoom. 

 

Step 4: Specify a Zoom Percentage 

In the Zoom dialog box, you can enter an exact zoom percentage in the Percent box (such as 50%). The Preview area gives you an idea of how the zoomed text will look. Click OK to apply the new view. 

 

 

 

 

Step 5: Use the View Buttons 

Use the View buttons in the lower-left corner of the Word window to switch between Normal, Web Layout, Print Layout, and Outline views. Click the view button you want to switch to; for example, click Print Layout View. 

 

 

 

 

 

Step 6: Change the View 

Word displays the document just as it will print. Most users stick with Normal and Print Layout views to work with and view document pages. To change your view again, click the View button you want to use.
