Zoom shortcut

There is a quick way to change font sizes on a page of text. The same technique allows you to quickly zoom in or out of a map. Does your mouse have a scroll button? Ever use it? Laptops with finger mouse pads have a scroll feature too.

The trick is simple. With the cursor on the map you want to zoom, hold down the ctrl key and scroll with the mouse. One direction zooms in, the other way zooms out. Likewise, with your cursor on the text you want to resize, hold down the ctrl key and scroll with the mouse. One direction enlarges the fontsize, the other direction makes it smaller.
