Zoom Tip for Microsoft Excel

scroolwheel I use Microsoft Excel quite a bit.  I like the zoom function (View -> Zoom) to fit as much of the worksheet on my screen as I can.  For you Excel zoomers out there, I have a quick zoom trick for you.  This tip requires a mouse with a scroll-wheel. 

To make the worksheet magnification becomes smaller, hold down the CTRL key and scroll back (toward you).

To make the worksheet magnification larger, hold down the CTRL key and scroll forward (away from you).

This is a quick and handy way to find the optimum zoom magnification for your worksheet (and eyes!).
