Neat Word trick

I've been gathering tips and tricks from the Web for a project I'm doing at work; mostly stuff to help with Microsoft Word, since that's the application that most people use most.

I've found some pretty neat stuff. But yesterday I discovered something for myself: I was editing something, when suddenly things went crazy. I was holding down the Ctrl key, and for some reason I idly moved the wheel on the mouse. Suddenly the page view size decreased enormously, and I was viewing all of the pages in the document at once.

It turns out that Ctrl-wheel allows you to resize your view of the document on the fly, in 10% increments. It's incredibly easy and useful. I don't know why no one seems to have documented that. It works with older versions of Word, too. Kinda neat!
