In an attempt to cram both "magnification" and "layout" into
a single progression:
Zoom
compact view (text wraps to width of window - narrow or wide)
normal view (shows true width, with no headers)
page layout (shows headers also)
full page (shows border of page also)
two page (fits two pages in available window space)
Any size...
