LibreOffice: Advent Tip #5

noun_76831_ccToday, a very simple tip, for all those people who are using LibreOffice and own a mouse with a scroll wheel (today, most mice have a scroll wheel, or are able to mimic the behavior of a scroll wheel).

LibreOffice allows to zoom a document from 20% (very tiny) to 600% (very large), independently from the application (Writer, Calc, Impress and Draw), by pressing the Control key on the keyboard and rotating the scroll wheel. You go from 20% to 600% by rotating the wheel forward, and from 600% to 20% by rotating the wheel backward.

Of course, the zoom speed is strictly related to a number of factors, so might not be as quick as the user would like. Start gently, and increase the speed with time, considering that a large document or a small RAM may slow down the process.
