Reversing ctrl+scroll wheel in Office for Mac?

Post by New Daddy »

I'm making transition to iMac & OS X, which I'm going to take a while.

One thing that really bothers me is the way ctrl + mouse scroll zooms in or out in the Office 2016 for Mac.

Probably because I turned off scroll direction:natural under System Preferences - Mouse, ctrl+scroll up in Office now zooms out, and ctrl+scroll down zooms in. This is exactly the reverse of the mouse behavior in Word for Windows.

Is there a fix for this that WON'T affect the rest of OS X? i.e., a Office-wide fix rather than a system-wide fix? (Because Ctrl+scroll zooms in/out as expected in some other applications, such as Firefox, I do not want to make a system-wide change.)

I don't have a Mac, but as far as I know Office doesn't have a way to set preferences for Ctrl+mousewheel.
Best wishes,
