Navigating ArcMap Miriam
Summary: Navigating ArcMap Shortcuts for navigation - Z Zoom in - X Zoom out - C Pan - B Continuous Zoom/Pan - Dragging left mouse button zooms in/out - Dragging right mouse button pans - < Previous extent - > Next extent - Insert: Full extent Many more: Search ArcGIS Help for Keyboard shortcuts in ArcMap Rolling the mouse wheel also zooms in and out http://www.esri.com/library/brochures/pdfs/arcgis-desktop-tips.pdf
