IPad External Monitor Zooming in / out in Numbers … How?

There is nothing more annoying then so called ,,experts,, replying to a specific question with a copy and paste standard bot answer. Bro we all know how the internet works. We are able to get these useless answers ourselves. Thanks.

To the toppic.

It seems its not possible to do ,,pinch to zoom,, action to zoom a photo or a numbers document without a macic trackpad.

You cant even adjust the document size at all.

All you can do is to put the window on your ipad temporarily, zoom in and put it back on your monitor. Repeat until your happy with the size.

Otherwise ou have to buy a 150 € Trackpad just to zoom sadly

Hello Folbo,

Thank you for reaching out in Apple Support Communities. you can zoom in out by a double-tap or pinch to zoom in. Here's more information:

"Zoom in on the iPad screen

In many apps, you can zoom in or out on specific items. For example, you can double-tap or pinch to look closer in Photos or expand webpage columns in Safari. You can also use the Zoom feature to magnify the screen no matter what you’re doing. You can magnify the entire screen (Full Screen Zoom), magnify part of the screen with a resizable lens (Window Zoom), or magnify a portion of the screen that stays in one place (Pinned Zoom). And, you can use Zoom together with VoiceOver.

Set up Zoom

1. Go to Settings  > Accessibility > Zoom, then turn on Zoom.
2. Adjust any of the following:

• Follow Focus: Track your selections, the text insertion point, and your typing.
• Smart Typing: Switch to Window Zoom when a keyboard appears.
• Keyboard Shortcuts: Control Zoom using shortcuts on an external keyboard.
• Zoom Controller: Turn the controller on, set controller actions, and adjust the color and opacity.
• Zoom Region: Choose Pinned Zoom, Full Screen Zoom, or Window Zoom.
• Zoom Filter: Choose None, Inverted, Grayscale, Grayscale Inverted, or Low Light.
• Maximum Zoom Level: Drag the slider to adjust the level.

3. If you use iPad with a pointer device, you can also set the following below Pointer Control:

• Zoom Pan: Choose Continuous, Centered, or Edges to set how the screen image moves with the pointer.
• Adjust Size with Zoom: Allow the pointer to scale with zoom.

4. To add Zoom to Accessibility Shortcut, go to Settings > Accessibility > Accessibility Shortcut, then tap Zoom."
