zoom - to any level?

[Doug.S]

I'm using Visio 2003 and recall either in earlier versions (or I may be
dreaming) we could zoom to any level by just typing-in the desired value in
the zoom box in the menu toolbar.....or use the zoom rectangle drag and it
would fill the screen.

But now I seem to only zoom in specific jump amounts set by Visio...like 50%
or 75%...but I can't easily pick say 62% such when wanting to do a screen
snapshot.

I seem to remember that someone in the forum had a solution by inserting a
few lines of text somehow into Visio (per drawing? or maybe a
template?)...but I never found anything specific to explain "how to" do this
to add "any zoom" capability (of course limited to max. set by Visio.

So, how do we setup Visio to get user zoom choices...or can you point me to
an explanation, tut, etc. ??

What your looking for is the ZoomBehavior property on a document, if
set to visZoomVisio (2), then Visio will use optimized settings based
on rullers, gris and snap settings. If set to visZoomExact (4), Visio
will use the value you give and not adjust it.

The application also has a DefaultZoomBehavior property, not sure if
there is a registry setting for the default.
