   Neat. I did not know that. The MSEdge people seem to be rather   
   adamant about their zoom. 25% .. 500% or hit-the-road-Jack.   
   I tried as many settings as I could, but absolutely none of   
   them allowed the digits to be selected, or set to "Other".   
   It's good to know my bicycle has the training wheels.   
   I might fall off and see what I wanted to see.   
      
   I'm used to a lot of tools, the zoom digits can be edited   
   for a good time.
