mac zoom?

[jcwrenn]

Can anyone tell me how to zoom with a mac, without using a mouse? I tried the page up and page down, but they simply do what they say, move the screen up and down, so those must be keyboards for windows os only. Is there a mac equivalent?

Page up and down works here, on a standard Mac extended keyboard on a Mac Pro.

On a Macbook Pro, control up arrow/down arrow does it. Actually now that I look, it's <fn> number pad up or down.

I should have been more specific - I'm on a PowerBook G4 laptop. But I'll try Aox's suggestion the next time I play, using Ctrl page up & down.

Does your Powerbook have the two finger scrolling ability with its trackpad? If so, you can use that as well to zoom (once activated through the relevant OS X control panel).

you may have hit on the answer. my 5-yr-old granddaughter sometimes zooms in and out with the pad, but we never figured out just what she's doing. I'll check it out when I play next.

yes, I think you're right, I can two-finger scroll !! Learn something new every day!
