Microsoft Word 2016 "RANT" [Zoom disabled if Page Movement is set to Side-To-Side] nothing to do with Wargaming .. other than a War on Stupidity!

Update: For a Wargaming Blog this Post is getting an embarrassingly high number of hits (as in people reading it). Methinks they are not the "usual group" of readers. Apologies to those non-wargamings who then decide to prowl around the blog for other useful "IT Tips" and instead bump into Caesar (Life Tip: "Divide and Conquer"), Leonidas ("Molon labe" = Come and get them!) and Marlborough (beloved Corporal John to his troops and "the [only?] Unbeaten Captain)!

Arrrgh!:
I would simply like to state that I would like to get my tiny little hands on the Microsoft Product Owner who championed this new "charming" feature in Word 2016.

FYI: A Word document now has two modes of "Page Movement" Vertical (as the world safely once was) and the new improved "Side-To-Side" (aka the secret new way of disabling the useful "Zoom" function in your document). May I thank that said Product Owner for wasting precious hours of my life in total screen discomfort and utter bemusement, until I Googled [not Bing'ed] the answer (see below):

Apologies for this uninteresting diatribe to my fellow wargamers :(

Normal service will be resumed once I gather up the spilled paint pots and model soldier that are scattered around the room!
