Is there a way to zoom into selected objects in Pages?

Working in the page layout mode in Pages and I note that there is no way to zoom into a particular object or selected objects. This is really a pain if you are working on a poster much larger than the screen and you want to zoom right to a particular object. Zooming only seems to go to upper left corner and you have to scrool around to find the object you were working on.

Has anyone figured out some magical way to zoom into an object on a page?

Mac OS X (10.7.3), 16 GB RAM

I use my Mouse (it is a Magic Mouse with touch sensitive surfaces).

The setup: System Preferences > Mouse > Screen Zoom (click ON) and Options > Zoom while hlding > (pulldown) > Select either Control, Option or Command > Hit Done

Anytime, in any application, when I want to quickly zoom in, I press Control and slide my fingers up the mouse - works great. This will work with scroll-wheel mice as well. Try it.
