Zoom out to see more of a Google Docs spreadsheet

One of the features of version 4 of Safari is that it preserves the layout of a webpage when you zoom in or out (Command-Plus and Command-Minus, or use the View menu bar item). This is because, unlike previous versions, any element on the webpage is also zoomed, not just the text.

One pleasant side effect of this is that you can emulate Excel's Zoom Out/In feature on Google Doc's spreadsheets with version 4 of Safari. This allows you to see more of your spreadsheet when required.

[robg adds: This also works in Firefox, and probably any other browser that supports full-page zoom.]
