Zoom & view options

Change how big the page looks and how much of your document's structure you can see. None of this touches the file.

Zoom

Use the ribbon's Zoom dropdown for presets (50–200%), or the special modes Fit Width and Fit Page, which re-fit as you resize the window. Shortcuts: Ctrl+= / ⌘= in, Ctrl+- / ⌘- out, Ctrl+0 / ⌘0 reset.

Dark Pages

Choose View ▸ Dark Pages to darken the page for comfort during long sessions. It's a view-only comfort setting; your file, exports, and prints stay on white paper. Text automatically appears white on the dark page, but font color settings are preserved nonetheless.

Formatting Marks

Choose View ▸ Formatting Marks (Ctrl+Shift+8 / ⌘⇧8) to show hairline rules where page, column, and section breaks fall.
