Quickly double your magnification using keystrokes (QuarkXPress)

For reading, editing, checking alignments, or adjusting small details in QuarkXPress, zooming into 200% is essential. The quicker you can do it the better.

Many people are accustom to using [command]+ or – ([Ctrl]+ or – in Windows) to zoom in and out of their projects. This method zooms in increments of 25% and only on selected items. If you have a large item, it will zoom to the center of that item, which may not be the location you desire to view. This creates extra repositioning and using the key command four times as much. Use our method for the most efficient and accurate way to zoom from 100% to 200%.

To quickly shift from 100% to 200% view:

  1. Point your mouse to the place you want to zoom to.
  2. Press [command][option]-click ([Ctrl][Alt]-click in Windows) to toggle back and forth between 100% and 200%.
