Zoom-in and Zoom- Out Operation in Word 2013

You can apply zoom-in and zoom-out for your own Word document. Because Word provides this functionality. Zoom-in enlarges the size of text whereas Zoom-out reduces the size of the text.

Here I am going to describe only "Zoom-in" and "Zoom-out" operations.

Zoom just changes the size of the font on-screen without affecting the other attributes. We can apply the zoom operation in several ways described below.

Zoom-in Using View tab

Step 1

Write some simple text in a Word document. Or use "=rand()".

Step 2

Go to the "View" tab and click on the "Zoom" button.

Step 3

The Zoom dialog box opens where you can increase or decrease the font of the text by selecting "Zoom to", which is 100% by default.

Step 4

You can also select the custom percentage. Then click  on the "OK" button. Then you will see the effect.

Zoom-in and Zoom-out Using (+)  and (-) Buttons

The (+) button is available in the status bar of the Word document. When you click on the (+) button the text size will be increased each time by 10%.

Note: Here in the above declared picture the text font is 196%.

Zoom-in Using (-) Buttons

The (-) button is available in the status bar of the Word document. When you click on the (-) the text size will be decreased each time by 10%.

Note: Here in the above declared picture the text font is 75%.
