Hyperlink zoomed areas of your map?
Okay, so I'm mapping a rather large metropolis for my books, and I wanted to know if there was a way to hyperlink the map key to zoom in on specific areas of the map. I'm not sure how to go about doing this. The city is so large you can hardly tell anything (besides the grandness of scale) when it's zoomed out in full view. The only way I could think of would be to zoom in to all the various districts and then save them as separate maps, THEN have the hyperlinks direct them to the separately saved and zoomed maps files.
Is there an easier way to do this? A macro where they can click the district name on the map key and it zoom in to the targeted district? I'm trying to avoid having to send tons of separate little maps to friends and my agent that it would require if I had to save zoomed sections of my city map and hyperlink it that way.
Thanks,
Rics

Zoom to somewhere.
View->Windows->Name Window
Accept the default (Current view), then give it a name
Then, make a macro hotspot that says:
ZNAME my_view_name;
