Change the Number in a Box

There are three ways to change a number in a box.

1 - Scrubby Slider

Place the cursor over the word next to the box in the options bar, such as Zoom.

The cursor will change to a finger with two arrows.

This is called a scrubby slider.

Click and hold, and move your mouse to the left and right, to change the value in the box.

If you hold down Shift, the value in the box changes by an increment of ten.

If you hold down Alt, the numbers change very slowly.

No Text Next to the Box

If there's no text next to the box, press and hold Ctrl.

Then, move the cursor over the box.

The box will become highlighted.

Then, do one of the following.

• Enter a new value in the box.

• Use your mouse scroll wheel to change the value in the box.

If you hold down Shift, the percentage changes by a increment of ten.

A slider will appear below the box.
