While this may not meet your needs, you can affect all (or just the selected) 
files in a book by choosing View > Zoom and choosing In, Out, 100%, Fit Page in 
Window (plus a couple of others). I find this useful since my monitor happens 
to fit the page to a full size window at 84%. The fact that this affects 
multiple files more than makes up, to me, for the loss of the ability to 
designate exactly which size to zoom to. If I need some particularly gargantuan 
size factor for a given file, I just type it into that percentage box you 
complain about.

Subject: Zoom Level Settings in FM 11
From: [email protected]

Sorry if this has been mentioned before, but I just noticed that I cannot set 
custom zoom levels in FM 11. Why was the functionality of the old dialog box 
(or whatever it was called) removed? And no, I don't mean typing into the 
percentage/drop-down box--you know, the one that doesn't even look like an 
entry field until it is rolled over or clicked in. If I had to type the size 
every time I needed to change zoom level, I'd have the slowest workflow on the 
planet.

Seriously, are users expected to modify an .ini file just to set zoom-level 
settings? (I understand from Shmuel's tip on Rocky Mountain Training's blog 
that it's maker.ini line 95.) Most technical writers/editors are not 
programmers and are neither comfortable nor familiar with modifying application 
files this way. Seems dangerous for workgroups. Isn't that what user interfaces 
are for?
