Is there a way to create a custom zoom level in Pages?

I am Trying to change the zoom on pages to a zoom between 125 and 150, but i can't seem to be able to do it. Is there anything I could do?

Thanks!

Choose Zoom - Fit Page. Then drag the window to the size that gives you the zoom level you want.

I do this on the iMac Retina when I want the page to be exactly lifesize on the screen (152% - go figure).

Pages 5.6 (2553) on El Capitan 10.11.1

Hi DallanaM,

System Preferences > Trackpad > Scroll & Zoom > Zoom in or out (pinch with two fingers).

Fiddly, but possible.

This may be different if you use a mouse.

My rulers are set to centimetres 😉.

Out of luck because the current zoom values are hard-coded into the application, and there is no place to change these to a specific value. Not even via AppleScript, or Page Setup.
