    Hello Eirek, 

    If the Zoom In feature is disabled in your Microsoft Word application, this is often caused by the current page movement setting or document view mode.

    You can follow the steps below to restore zoom functionality: 

    1. Switch to Vertical Page Movement
    • Go to the View tab.
    • In the Page Movement group, select Vertical instead of Side to Side.
    • Zoom options should now be enabled again

     

    1. Check for Protected View or Read Mode
    • If the document is in Read Mode or Protected View, zoom may be restricted.
    • Go to Review > Restrict Editing, and click Stop Protection if available.

     

    I hope the above steps help restore zoom functionality in your Word application. Please feel free to reach out if you need further assistance or if the issue persists. 

    Best regards,
