Disabling "text zoom" notification on Word

I recently updated Word and now there is a temporary screen-blocking notification every time I zoom in or out. I am zooming in and out a lot to read a document so this is very distracting. How can I disable it?

    Are you on an Insider (preview) version of Office? I'm asking because I have the most current update of Office 2019 (version 2102, according to File > Account) and I do not see a "Text zoom" prompt in Word. 

    I do see the corresponding prompt in Outlook, and I don't think it can be turned off. Note that it is possible to have Outlook remember the selected zoom, which reduces the need to change the zoom constantly.

    Disabling this did not affect the "text zoom" display.

    My mistake -- I'm on a standalone downloaded version of the 365 version of Word, which I mistakenly thought was the same as 2019. The version is also 2102 so I'm surprised it's in one but not the other. I updated the issue to fix this.
