Hi,

How do I change custom zoom to be larger than 400%?

Thanks.

Given the warning box that appears when you try to manually enter a zoom
value larger than 400% says "The number must between 10 and 400", I am going
to guess that 400 is a built-in limit for the zoom function (meaning it
probably cannot be exceeded). By the way, I have looked at things blown up
to 400%... they are pretty big... do you **really** need a larger zoom
factor?

Hi Rick,

I trace locallive pictures at 400%. 500% or 600% might be better for what I
am doing.

Leaving aside the debate whether Excel is the proper tool...

Is the "locallive" picture an embedded object? Could you increase the size
of this object?

Hello Ed,

We can programmatically change the view zoom value with the VBA code:
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 200

Based on my test, if I set the Zoom percentage value to 600, it will throw
an error:
"one of the values passed to this method or property is out of range"

Therefore, as Rick said, this is a "built-in limit for the zoom function".
Would you consider Jon's suggesion and let us know if that works for you?
