How can I quickly access the Microsoft Word zoom setting on a Mac?

For MS Word Mac: You zoom by holding the Command and CTRL key while scrolling the mouse wheel. http://www.macosxhints.com/article.php?story=20070113120847965

On my Macbook Air, I can hold "control" and "command" and slide two fingers on the touchpad down and up to zoom in and out, respectively, within Microsoft Word 2011.

Depending on which version of Word you are using you can hold down the Ctrl key and use the scroll wheel (or whichever button you use to scroll!) and this will zoom in and out.

This works with a lot of other Microsoft applications.

I found that another way to do this is to customize the toolbar. I wasn't displaying the standard toolbar, where there is a zoom drop-down menu. I right-clicked on the toolbar that I was displaying (Formatting) and clicked "Customize toolbars and menus". On the "Commands" tab, I dragged the zoom button from "View" out on to my toolbar.
