Well, Drew already explained this. Not the luckiest behavior,
admittedly. (I fear I won't get the Writer guys to give this enough
priority, and I'll have to fiddle with the Writer code myself one day,
to fix it.)

Chances are you re-used your user settings from OOo 3.1. The zoom slide
is part of the UI configuration, which might be overruled by your
re-used settings from 3.1, which did not yet contain the slider.
For manually adding it: Somewhere in your user profile, there's a
".../modules/swform/statusbar/statusbar.xml" file. Find it, and add the
following before the closing </statusbar:statusbar> tag:
<statusbar:statusbaritem
xlink:href=".uno:ZoomSlider"
statusbar:align="center"
statusbar:ownerdraw="true"
statusbar:width="130"
statusbar:helpid="helpid:11065"/>
<statusbar:statusbaritem
xlink:href=".uno:Zoom"
statusbar:align="center"
statusbar:width="35"
statusbar:helpid="helpid:10000"/>
If you do not find the file (which would falsify my assumption from
above), try finding it in your installation, and modify it.
Ciao
Frank
