New View Controls

With all the changes in the 2007 Microsoft Office system interface, you might wonder where some of your favorite tools have gone. How do you work with other open files, which used to be the function of the Window menu? How do you move among views so that you can work with your document outline, display Slide Sorter view in Office PowerPoint, or zoom in for a closer look at a document?

The 2007 release uses the View tab to organize the controls you need for viewing your documents. Everything you formerly found in the Window or View menus, you’ll now find by clicking the View tab (see Figure 2-12). The familiar View tools appear in the lower-right corner of the document window, to the left of a handy Zoom tool that enables you to enlarge or reduce the display of your document incrementally while you work.

Tip

To magnify or reduce the size of the document displayed on the screen, drag the slider in the Zoom tool until the document is the size you want.
