Alternate between viewing one or all open spreads

If you decide to view all spreads, viewing may be easier if you resize the Navigator panel to make it tall and narrow.

  • In the Zoom text box, type the magnification or reduction percentage and press Enter (Windows) or Return (Mac OS).

    • To use a preset color, select one from the pop‑up menu.
