why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text, b.
I have XP Prof + SP3, using Office 2003. Just re-installed windows and
office. Now the text, although format is selected as size 12, it appears as size 14 or larger on the page, and the text goes out of sight. Which means that I have to scroll from side to side to read it. Any advice on correction of this will be appreciated. Colin -- cat |

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
Thank you Graham, for your reply.
I have searched for Normal.dot through "Search" in the start menu, and the result was negative! It is not in my computer under files and folders. I do not see a 'zoom' button on the toolbar of Word either.

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
Your template is in a hidden folder -- when you use Windows Search,
check "look in hidden folders." Your zoom box is supposed to be in your Standard toolbar -- if it isn't, click the down arrow at the toolbar's right end and choose Reset. In Word2007 the zoom box has been moved down to the right side of the "status bar" and made minuscule with most of the presets taken away, and provided with a useless zoom scroll bar that cannot be moved with any sort of precision.

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
In Word 2007, if you click on the percentage shown at the left end of the
zoom slider, you'll get the Zoom dialog, which contains the presets. This is also available in the View tab on the ribbon. For my part, in Word 2007 and earlier, I assigned zooming capabilities to Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up and Down, using two macros: Sub ZoomIn() ' ' ZoomIn Macro ' ' On Error Resume Next With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View .Zoom.Percentage = .Zoom.Percentage + 1 End With End Sub Sub ZoomOut() ' ' ZoomIn Macro ' ' On Error Resume Next With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View .Zoom.Percentage = .Zoom.Percentage - 1 End With End Sub And... if those aren't enough, you can zoom using Ctrl+ Mouse Wheel.. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "grammatim" wrote in message ...

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
As I said, very few presets -- only 75, 100, 200; lost are the two I
used most often, 150 and 500. (The latter for checking on diacritics, which tend to look pretty much the same at normal screen resolutions.)

You can modify one of the macros I showed previously to create QAT tools
that let you zoom to 150 and 500.

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
Defined presets might be nice... although, I find having to use the mouse a
pain in the wrist. I use AutoOpen and AutoNew macros to make documents default to 160%, since that's the minimum size at which I can comfortably read 10 or 12 point text. When I need other zoom levels, I have zoom in and zoom out assigned to keystrokes. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Suzanne S.

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
FrameMaker has 8 or 10 steps on the preset scale -- every one of which
can be changed. I always had 1600% (its maximum!) in there, because I occasionally had to move things by 1000ths of a point to get footnotes right, because it never did learn that long footnotes are supposed to break onto the next page! For Word, it turns out that 140% exactly fits the text plus comment balloons on the full width of my screen.

If you set 105 from the zoom dialog, it appears to hold without further

why do I have to scroll from side to side to read written text
I don't want that zoom for all docs, though, just the ones I want it for.
Certain others require different zooms. And I absolutely don't want Word to open at 105% (when it does, I switch it back) because I keep Document1 open all day in pristine condition for testing purposes. It's the only document I ever have that's actually based on Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Graham Mayor" wrote in message ...
