2003 Zoom View Issue - Cant Zoom over 107%

[ViolatedJR]

I'm working in a flow in Visio 2003 that is 320" x 34" (printed to a plotter)
and I can not zoom to over 107%. I have tried the view toolbar and the View -
Zoom - <Percentage> menu as well as the Ctrl + Scroll Wheel methods to try
and increase the view size. I'm not sure when the problem started but know
that at one point, I could zoom to +200% in this cocument. Zoom/Magnify works
fine in other documents.
HELP...
I'm running a Dell Latitude with XP (Lots of HD space, lots of RAM). Let me
know if you need more detail.
Thank you,
Jay R

Hmm. I'm able to zoom *only* to 1000% with a drawing that big.

Have you created a new blank drawing of the same size and had the same
problem?

Is it possible you have created some shapes that are waaaaaaaaay off the
page?

I saved the original document with another file name and deleted everything.
Even with no information in the file I couldn't zoom over 107%.
I created a new file with the same dimensions and encountered the same
problem. I reduced the page size to 220x34 and could enlarge up to 155%. At
120x34, I could enlarge to 284%.
When I copied the information into another document as 7 individual 34x44
pages and was able to zoom to over 400%.

It appears that I am limited by dimension but it's possible that exceeding
the "Page Size" is the problem. I turned of "cut sheet" on the plotter to
keep the pages continuous. I was using a "Custom size:" of 320x34 while my
"Print setup" had the "Printer paper" set to "E: 34x24".

Why is my display name "ViolatedJR"?

This article explains the situation.

Bottom line: download Visio 2003 SP2 to get improved zoom limits
