Hi All,

Could someone help me. A user is having an issue with opening some files
they recieved via Outlook. What is happening on some files is when opening
they open at 40% instead of 100%. This only happens to some files.

Regards

Aaron

Aaron,

You can put the following lines in an AutoOpen Macro in you Normal.dot
file:

Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
'or I use
'.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End With
End Sub

Hi Greg,

Thanks for the reply. Do I insert that code into the VB editor when in the
normal.dot template. Or where do I insert the code?

Regards

Aaron

Aaron,

Yes, put it in Normal.dot

FWIW, documents always open at the Zoom in which they were saved. Perhaps
the user should contact the sender of the files and suggest a different
setting? Alternatively, if the user has Word 2003, he/she could use Reading
Layout view.

Hi Suzanne,

Thanks for the reply. I must test saving a file in reading layout and send
it to a user thats reads in print view. Am I correct in saying that the
document will opening in reading view. This really bugs some of the users on
the network. Is there a network script available to remotely configure all
internal versions of Word 2003 to set the views each time the program is ran.
I know I changed most of the default settings after installation (in regards
to views and toolbar postions.).

Thanks for your time.
