Here’s how you can perform zoom in and zoom out in LibreOffice Calc sheet.

When you are working with a large set of data in a LibreOffice Calc sheet, it is often needed to zoom in or zoom out to fit the data in the available display resolution. Calc provides easiest way to provide these two features.

In the Calc workspace, at the bottom right section, the zoom controls are present.

Different Zoom in Sheets / Synchronize Zoom

It is possible to have different Zoom levels in different sheet of Calc. By default, zoom levels are synchronized i.e. if you zoom to say 150% in sheet1, the same zoom to be applied to sheet2 and so on. If you want to have different zoom levels i.e. while zooming sheet1, the other sheet’s zoom level remains same, then follow below steps:

  • Go to menu. Tools > Options.
  • On the left side, click LibreOffice Calc > View. Then uncheck the option Synchronize Sheets under zoom.
