Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 28226
increase maximal zoom
Last modified: 2014-03-23 14:43:09 UTC
maximal zoom has a limit - 600%. proposion - increase this limit to the one found in impress & draw - 3000%. maximal zooms should be identical for all applications to reduce possible confusion
this issue is connected to issue 28227, which deals with max zoom limit in calc
re-assigned to bh.
... and it would be great if minimal zoom got lower than 20% (Calc and Writer). I am working with huge paper sheets (the printer here can go up to 36"x590" :-D ). Many thanks !
In 2.3.1 minimal zoom in Writer is still 20%, which makes it impossible to edit positioning of objects on the entire page when working with dimensions over 5 times the respective dimension of the computer screen. This is a problem when making large posters or signs or anything that exceeds about 3' in height. This limitation is entirely artificial. If this is a user interface issue (keep people from getting lost in their document) than the outer zoom limit could be set to some multiple of the page size, or be a configurable option, and the inner zoom limit could also be a configurable option.
To grep the issues easier via "requirements" I put the issues currently lying on my owner to the owner "requirements".
