set default page size to page width in zoom
Every time I open an existing word document, it opens to page width - far to
big to qork with. I prefer 100% width, by changing on the zoom buttons, but despite saving with these changes, it doesn't save the page zoom size. How do I get to the default zoom setting. Office 2007 with Vista. Thanks |

Thanks I'm an Office 2000 user so I don't know if I can help much. But under Word 2000, I would rename the old Normal.dot and allow Word to create a new one. Assuming the old one is corrupt. I don't know, but does Word 2007 still use Normal.dot files? -- Bill Gateway MX6124 ('06 era) - Windows XP SP2 |

set default page size to page width in zoom
Documents should open in the view and zoom they were saved in. If you open a
document, make an edit that needs saving, change the Zoom and then save and close the document, does it now open in the correct zoom? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "fev@FUSE" wrote in message ...

In Word 2007, the Normal template is called normal.dotm (the filename
extension indicates a macro-enabled template). In this case, treating the template as corrupt would be overkill, though.

For more on this, see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. Also, note that if you want to force all documents, new and existing ones, to open at a particular zoom, you could use auto macros such as the following: Sub AutoOpen() ChangeTheZoom End Sub Sub AutoNew() ChangeTheZoom End Sub Sub ChangeTheZoom() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = 3 ' Print Layout view (use 1 for Draft view) .Zoom.Percentage = 100 ' specify the desired zoom End With End Sub Sometimes you may also need to set a timer so that Word gets some time to load the blank document created on startup: Sub AutoExec() Application.OnTime _ When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:01"), Name:="ChangeTheZoom" End Sub Save the macros in normal.dotm (or in an add-in). For more, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Terry Farrell" wrote in message ... Documents should open in the view and zoom they were saved in.

Thanks, JoAnn. We had a *great* time in England. I've blogged about one
aspect of it at http://walkthoughts.wordpress.com/20...-and-ale-tour/ and may add more later (including baby pictures), but I'm still trying to get "caught up." -- Suzanne S.

Thanks Terry,
Don't know why it didn't but it does now. Perhaps I didn't carry out an edit before saving, but I did this and saved and all sorted, Thank you, Kev "Terry Farrell" wrote: Documents should open in the view and zoom they were saved in.

Suzanne,
Very useful link there - thank you very much. I have learned a thing or two about office files now. All I had to do was make an edit in the text and save as I was just changing the zoom and saving. All sorted out now. Thank you very much, Kev "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm -- Suzanne S.

Probably because changing zoom doesn't dirty the document to trigger a save
function on its own: it needs another 'real' edit. Terry "fev@FUSE" wrote in message ... Thanks Terry, Don't know why it didn't but it does now.
