Zoom In While In Full Screen Microsoft Word For Mac

There’s a new Full Screen view in Word for Mac 2011 that lets you edit or simply read a document without the clutter of the Office 2011 for Mac Ribbon, rulers, and other distractions. Full Screen view is actually two views in one: You can choose Reading mode or Writing mode. Switching to Full Screen.

  • Dec 01, 2007 Whenever I open a document, the text is tiny. The zoom is set at 100%, but that's too low for comfortable reading/typing. (Now I know why my Mac-using friends always sent me Word documents set at 125% zoom!) I am wondering, is there any way to set the zoom defaults so that all documents will always open at a higher zoom level?
  • Many users find that using an external keyboard with keyboard shortcuts for Microsoft Teams on Windows helps them work more efficiently. For users with mobility or vision disabilities, keyboard shortcuts can be easier than using the touchscreen and are an essential alternative to using a mouse.

The zoom feature is a quick way to temporarily enlarge items on your desktop in Windows 10 or macOS.

These days, your computer’s desktop can feel like a sweeping vista; large and expansive giving you a birds-eye view of the land with the various apps and utilities you have open. At times, it can become a bit hard to see whats on it, especially as if your eyesight is not as sharp as it used to be. Popular desktop operating systems such as Windows 10 and macOS include options that make it easy for you to quickly zoom in like an eagle on just what you want. Let’s check out how to find, enable and use them.

Tip: You can also press Alt+K (Windows) or Option+K (Mac) to open the command list.Commands are available for everyone using Teams, but if a certain command isn't working for you, it could be because your organization has disabled a feature central to the command.

Zoom or Magnify Screen Items in Windows 10

You are probably familiar with zooming in; you’ve done it many times in applications such as Edge or Microsoft Word. But, you can also do it anywhere on the desktop, too.

In Windows 10, it’s easy as pressing the Windows key and (+) key to activate the magnifier app. You can then zoom in or out by pressing either the plus or minus sign on the app or press Windows key and (-) or (+) on your keyboard.

As you can see, I have zoomed in up to 300%.

The magnifier also includes two additional views you should check out called Lens and Dock. Lens can be activated by pressing Control + Alt + L. This lets you magnify items up close on screen.

Docked mode, which you can activate by pressing Control + Alt + D, keeps the magnifier at the top of the screen in view. You can resize the dock to your liking. Whichever option you choose, this handy feature definitely makes working on the desktop or in your favorite apps convenient; especially in those apps with jam-packed menus and buttons that you can easily miss.

If you want to make changes to the behavior of the magnifier, launch Settings > Ease of Access > Magnifier. There you can set the default zoom level when you open the magnifier, turn it off completely or choose a default mode and choose specific tracking options.

Using the Zoom Function in macOS

Mac users also have options for zooming in on the desktop or applications. To access them, you will need to enable them.

Launch Settings then choose Dock > Accessibility > Zoom. Choose the method you want to use for zooming. You can use keyboard shortcuts or gestures(two finger swipe up or down) while holding down the Control key.

The default keyboard commands if you prefer that option are:

Toggle Zoom: Shift + Command (⌘) + 8

Zoom in: Shift + Command (⌘) + (=)

Zoom out: Shift + Command (⌘) + (-)

After enabling, you can start zooming in or out.

That’s pretty much it. Now, you can see those small items on your screen in detail without making permanent changes such as changing your screen resolution or scale and layout. Another handy feature you might find the zoom feature handy for are explainer videos if you use apps like Camtasia Studio. So, don’t worry about straining your eyes figuring out whats on the screen when you have these options available.

Give them a try and let us know how it works for you.

There’s a new Full Screen view in Word for Mac 2011 that lets you edit or simply read a document without the clutter of the Office 2011 for Mac Ribbon, rulers, and other distractions. Full Screen view is actually two views in one: You can choose Reading mode or Writing mode.

Switching to Full Screen view in Word 2011 for Mac

You can display your document in Full Screen view.

The toolbar hides itself. Move the mouse to the top of the window to display the toolbar while working in Full Screen view. You can navigate by clicking the mouse, clicking in the Navigation pane, using arrow keys, and by using the navigation controls at the top of the window.

You can use the Media browser, the Toolbox, and custom toolbars in Full Screen view if you turn them on before switching to Full Screen view.

Full screen view uses a lot of video resources on your computer. If switching between Read and Write modes is sluggish or doesn’t work, try to make more video RAM available by closing other windows.

Using Writing mode in Word 2011 for Mac

Writing mode reaches out to people who want a single, simplified toolbar to make basic Word documents. This simplified workspace is great for beginners. If you’re one of the people who find Word’s regular interface daunting, give Writing mode in Full Screen view a try. Another group likely be attracted to this new view is people who know keyboard shortcuts well enough that they don’t rely on menus or toolbars and want to work in a clutter-free environment. Remember, you can use keyboard shortcuts and right-click in your document while in Writing mode.

These controls appear only in Full Screen view:

  • Write: Switch to Writing mode (also called Writing view). Nothing happens when you click this button if you are already in Writing mode.

  • Read: Switch to Reading mode (also called Reading view).

  • Options:

    • Find: Changes the toolbar into the Search input field.

    • Track Changes:Toggles track changes on or off.

    • Show Comments and Changes:Submenus take you through tracked comments and reviewing.

    • Show Original /Final Document:Submenus let you accept and reject tracked changes.

    • Toolbox and Media Browser:Toggle these tools on or off.

    • Background: Choose a background from the pop-up menu.

Using Reading Mode in Word 2011 for Mac

Reading mode is the simplest of Word’s views. Word’s Navigation pane displays to the left. If your screen is wide enough, your document displays as two pages side-by-side, but you can toggle the display to Show One Page on the Options menu.

In Reading mode, you have most of the options of Writing mode. Instead of Toolbox and Media Browser, there is a Margin control menu. When a single page is displayed you can choose from these turning animations: fade through, page curl, or none.

When in Reading mode, you can’t edit your document, but you still have access to lookup and research functions by right-clicking in the document.
