Hi everybody I have Visio and need to zoom in and out a lot. Under Windows this is done using Strg + Scrollwheel. However, when using Parallels using this command the deskop get's zoomed, the default behaviour of Leopard. Is there a workaround for that? I appreciate your help. Michael
In Leopard, go to the System Preference for mouse and disable (or change) the default behavior for the zoom (the very bottom of the dialog). I don't care about zooming my "desktop" on the Mac, so I just turn it off... At least this worked in Parallels Desktop 3. It appears to work differently in PD4, and I haven't found a workaround (yet). I used to be able to "SHIFT-CTRL-SCROLL" in PD3, but no longer... I'll repost if I figure out how to do this.
Visio zooming and panning Well, I figured out ... something. Disable the default behavior of zoom in Leopard, and program your mouse to have both right and left keys if not already done. Then in Visio, hold both CNTL/SHIFT and click right mouse button. It zooms out a bit, but the zoom function suddenly appears and you can zoom to any desired level using the mouse scroll. While still holding CNTL/SHIFT, press either mouse button and move mouse and you can pan in any direction with the given zoom level. This worked for me.
Hope this will help http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/visio/HP012315471033.aspx Note, that zooming using CTRL+wheel only on IntelliMouse, but in VM, it is simple PS/2 mouse
When will this be fixed? Thanks for the workaround idea - though I wonder when this issue will actually be fixed. This is pretty critical functionality for Windows - it's a shame that it worked in Parallels 3 but broke in 4.
