zoom on selected object
Hi
I'm using Visio2003 - I think that this is the third or fourth version I've used. When I learnt on whichever that first version was, zoom would focus on the selected object - occasionally irritating but usually exactly what I wanted to do. Now zoom focuses on the middle of the current view, so I have to scroll around (and possibly zoom out and in again) to find the selected object. That old way is so ingrained that I'm still surprised to see my selected object whizzing off the edge of the view as I zoom in. Please please please tell me that I can have zoom working in the old way by changing some buried option or by holding a key down as I click on the +. I'm sorry if this has already been asked - searched the archives - no joy. Sal driven zoomin' bonkers |

Visio Zooming
I use Visio Standard 2003. Like you, I used to be able to zoom on selected objects. However, here are alternatives:
Ctl-Shift-Left Click - zooms in to cursor (mag glass) Ctl-Shift-Right Click - zooms out from cursor (mag glass) Ctl-Shift-Left Click-and-drag - zooms in on rectangle Ctl-Shift-Right Click-and-drag - hand cursor moves dwg Hope this helps. sa wrote: zoom on selected object 20-Sep-07 Hi I'm using Visio2003 - I think that this is the third or fourth version I've used.
