Dont know about that particular program but crtl+ or ctrl- usually works for zoom

Kerry, hold ctrl on your keyboard and use your mouse wheel to zoom in and out. Alternatively you can click the zoom icon which is a magnifying glass and then clicking with your mouse near your box will zoom you in and out. Hope that helps

Do you have a wheel on your mouse? If you do, using it will zoom you in and out with ease. I've gotten so fond of this, I automatically try to do it when I'm using Photoshop and am temporarily confused when it doesn't work!
