Zooming or Scrolling with the Mouse Wheel
Summary: Excel allows your mouse's center wheel to be used for two different purposes. Here's how to throw the switch that indicates which purpose should be used.If you have a computer mouse that has a wheel between its two buttons, you may know that Excel recognizes the wheel and allows you to use it for different purposes. The default behavior of the wheel is to scroll your worksheet up and down. You can modify how Excel reacts to moving the wheel by following these steps:
- Click the Office button, then click Excel Options. Excel displays the Excel Options dialog box.
- At the left side of the dialog box, click Advanced. (Click here to see a related figure.)
- Scroll through the available options until you find the Editing Options area.
- Select the Zoom On Roll With IntelliMouse check box.
- Click on OK.
Now when you use the mouse wheel, Excel zooms your worksheet in and out. If you decide you again want to use the wheel to scroll, simply repeat the steps but clear the check box.
