Zoom function not working in Word
After a recent update, I cannot zoom in or out in Word documents. Documents are stuck at 49%. The slide in the lower right corner does not move, cannot type in different zoom percentage. When trying to access zoom using the menu, there is only an option
for seeing multiple pages, does not give option for zooming. Help? Hard to type and edit when everything is so small.

That is strange ...
In the View tab > Page Movement group> is the "side to side" button turned on? Apparently that disables the zoom option.
