Are there more refined methods of zooming?

If you use the magnifying glass in the tool bar you can drag over a 
section that you would like to zoom to fill the entire window (item #2).

If you don't have this tool it might have been turned off in the 
Preferences:Drawing Tools. Turn it back on and you'll be set.
