Inadvertent Zoom Change

[chgoguy7]

I often navigate through my Word documents using control plus left or right
arrow keys, which moves me a word at a time to the left or right
respectively. The problem is that occasionally when I am doing this, my zoom
increases or decreases by 10%, which drives me nuts.

I have looked at the published keyboard shortcuts for Word and am unable to
find a keyboard shortcut for changing the zoom setting but I guess I am
inadvertently changing the zoom setting with my control + arrow combinations.

If I knew precisely what key combination I am hitting that causes the zoom
to change I could be more mindful not to do this (or perhaps disable this
functionality) but I can't figure out what it is. Does anyone know of an
unpublished keyboard shortcut for the zoom function, or have other ideas as
to why this is happening? Thanks!

Control+scroll wheel will do this.

Thanks Ed, but this issue is definitely occurring when I am using control +
arrow key combinations. I'm not even using the mouse when this change to the
zoom occurs.
