What's the keyboard shortcut for zoom?

[mjmcclurg]

I can't find the keyboard shortcut to zoom in or out on a worksheet. Please
help!

alt-v,z
may open a dialog for you.
Type the number that's underlined to choose that option.
(0 for 200%, 1 for 100%, ...)

And in case you're not aware of it - holding Ctrl down as you spin the mouse
wheel is a very convenience way to zoom.

And just to add to Jim's response.

There's an option in excel:
tools|Options|general tab|zoom on roll with intellimouse

If you turn this on, you don't even have to use the control key.

I realize this is a decade old thread, but the following key sequence is fairly convenient when mouse zooming is not an option (broken scroll wheel, finicky laptop touchpad, etc). In Excel 2013:

You can use F6 to toggle between a few menus, but the zoom bar in the bottom right is the first one to be highlighted. Now use the arrow keys to move between the - and + on the zoom bar, and then press enter or space to "click" these. Press ESC to exit.

You could also use F6 to select the ###% and bring up the Zoom Magnification menu, just like the Alt-> W -> Q shortcut (previously alt-> v-> z in 2005 apparently), if you really wanted to. The previous F6 method uses a finer step size in zooming, though, so it's recommended.

This F6 shortcut remembers your last selection, too, so after you've used it once and are on the - or + in the bottom right corner, it's not too bad. Somewhat cumbersome but better than nothing. I'm not sure if this shortcut applies to older versions of Excel.
