1. Select a cell.
2. Press Ctrl, and roll the mouse wheel forward (to increase the magnification) or backward (to decrease it).

Thanks for sahring. Handy Tip. works with Word also!
Usually, using the mouse wheel will scroll up and down in a worksheet, and holding the CTRL button along w/ mousewheel will magnify/unmagnify. Somehow on my computer at work, these things got switched and it's causing me much confusion - anyone know how to fix it?
works fine up to 400% (15% at a time with my mouse - genius optical)
Seems to work fine in excel 97 win xp pro, goes from any value downwards, but upwards, maximum value seems to be 100%.
check again, it does work
doesn't work (increase or decrease). using excel 97
SEEMS TO GO VERY SMALL BUT NOT TO THE LARGER EXTREAM, WHY NOT?
