Default How do I change the default Zoom level in Word 2007 to 100%?

Change the zoom setting -
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm
or
You can control the zoom with auto macros saved in the normal template. The
following will set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it
should be. Change the 100 to any preferred zoom level. If you want normal
rather than print layout view swap the apostrophe from the beginning of the
line where indicated to the other.

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
'**********************
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
'**********************
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
'**********************
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
'**********************
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

change that. Is there a place where I can change the default zoom
