Well, I just couldn't wait until the weekend, especially since the way you
described it seem so straight forward. Excellent, Beth. Easy, because your
instructions were precise and I followed them to the detail. Being new to MS
Word, you momentarily thru me with your "QAT", but after pause. I figured it
out. The macro worked and it was what I was looking for. Thank you again.

You're welcome. It should be pretty easy, a few button clicks and copy
paste. Once you create the macro and try it out, let us know if that's
what you were looking for. :-)

Thanks Beth
I'll give it a try over the weekend and the end of my normal workweek.
Can't afford the time until then, but am anxious to give macros a try in
Word.
With appreciation

- Make sure the Macros In list reflects "Normal.dotm (global template)"
- Click Create
- Copy the lines from below:
With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With
- Paste the copied lines between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub
- From the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Office Word
To add the macro to your Quick Access Toolbar:
- Click the More button (down pointing arrow) at the end of your QAT and

I am ashamed to admit that I did not. Have worked with Word Perfect for
over 20 years and am tying to convert to Word. Never was much good with
macros in WP. I figured it would take a rocket scientist to do this one
... or at least a little more help from someone in this group. (smile)

I suspect you didn't try my macro method. :-)
