When you are in either Page Layout or Print Preview view and you click the Zoom list on the Formatting or Print Preview toolbars, you see the following choices:

500%
200%

NOTE: The Zoom command on the toolbar gives you the choice of Two Pages, while the Zoom command on the View menu gives you the choice of Many Pages; whereby, you can view multiple pages of your document. When you follow the steps in the "Workaround" section of this article, the Zoom button on the toolbar will provide the same choices as the Zoom command on the View menu.
