How to expand the page view on Microsoft Word (Apple mac)?

Question

This is probably really simple but I can't work out how to do it...

I have a word document on my screen. It's not filling the computer screen - (eg- the desktop screen is still in the background). It's really annoying as I have to keep hitting the scroll to read my document from left-to-right. How can I enlarge the view?? (I'm on a Mac, btw).

Answer 1

To resize the window, click and drag the bottom right corner that is marked with diagonal grey lines.

To zoom the document size, click on the "View" menu and choose "Zoom..."

You can also add a Zoom button to the toolbar: Tools > Customize > Toolbars/Menus. That will get you started but use the Help > Word Help (search: add toolbar button) to get the step-by-step.
