Zooming and settings of timeline tiers

Hi Fred

It is a bit time consuming to set a specific zoom level.
What might help is to record a macro at least to reset back to Months and Day both at interval 1.

You can then assign the macro to a button on the Quick Access toolbar (or to a shortcut key).

To record a macro:
Select View, Macros, Record Macro
Name it something like ZoomSet (not Zoom as that is a name already used by Project)
Add a shortcut key such as Ctrl+m for months

Double click on the Timescale and set the middle tier to months interval 1, bottom tier to days interval 1.
Press ok
Select View, Macros, Stop Recording

This is a global macro so you will be able to press Ctrl+m in any project to reset the zoom level.

To add a button to your Quick Access toolbar:
Right click on the Quick Access toolbar
Choose Customize the Quick Access Toolbar
Select Macros from the 'Choose Commands from' list
Select ZoomSet and press the Add button
Select Modify... to choose a different icon

Hope that helps. Unfortunately pressing + and - on the bottom zoom slider wont work with this method but it still saves a bit of time.
