This is for windows: hold down the 'alt' key while using the scroll wheel on your mouse. Not sure what the 'alt' key equivalent is on a mac. Hope that helps

On windows = Press Z to select the zoom tool.. to zoom out hold the alt button which is = to the option key on mac and just click.

To make you art project fit on the art-board, select the art project you are working on, hit on the art board tool on the left panel or press (shift + O) mac = (option + O) finally, look on the top panel, there's a drop-down menu next to presets that will allow you to make you artwork fit on the board.... good luck!
