Any way to "Zoom-Previous"?

Is there any way to "Zoom-Previous"? I often set up an ideal zoom that I can work in for extended periods, but occaisionally want to zoom in on some small detail. I'd like to be able to just step back to the previous view. I don't find an icon button to do this though. Instead I have to zoom extents, and then re-zoom-window, to return to my work area. Cumbersome. Any suggestions? Thanks.

Use alt+F5 to zoom previous. It's a little bit of a stretch on your fingers though.

If you right click above your tool bar you can select "customize" on the toolbar tab the left hand side select "view" then on the right hand side you'll have some toolbar buttons pop up "previous view" is in there drag and drop it onto your toolbar.
 
You can also customize its shortcut key. Just follow rollacrc's suggestion and when you see the Customize Dialog Box, click on the Keyboard tab. You'll see a list of commands here. Select View in Categories then Previous Views in Command. Click on 'Press new shortcut key' field then obviously, press the new shortcut key. Click the Assign button to assign the shortcut key.
