Zoom setting in word
I am creating a document for a legally blind person. They are using Word 97
on an XP Home system. They want the zoom setting in Word to be set to 125%, but I can't figure out how to save that setting so that each time they open Word, it defaults to that setting? Anyone know how? Thanks, Kritan |

While it won't change it the first time they open Word, it will change it
any time they open a document from Word: http://www.vbaexpress.com/kb/getarticle.php?kb_id=65 ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Krytan" wrote in message ...

Thanks Anne, that will work. I did discover a way to save the Zoom setting
per document. ON the View menu, selecting Zoom and setting the percentage there, then saving the document will retain the setting and open with the zoom setting.

Hey Anne,
What's the difference between AutoNew and Document_New and AutoOpen and Document_Open? (I'm using the Auto macros for this purpose, but I'm also on a Mac and at VBA5. But I'm pretty sure mine works even when launching Word by double-clicking on someone's else doc, even though I see a slight pause before it kicks in). E.g., I have this, but yours looks *very* different, and I don't know much about VBA to have a clue why? Sub AutoNew() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 125 .TableGridlines = True End With End Sub Daiya PS. Nice VBAX site logo.

Ah, Daiya! Have you joined yet? I created that site 'cause I hate VBA, but I
need it, and I want everybody else's code!! Did you see the knowledgebase? The site is only a little more than a year old. Anyway... a few things AS I UNDERSTAND THEM, which could be wrong... 1. All those macro viruses going around a few years back used autonew and autoopen. 2. Autonew and autoopen will run if the file is opened using code (I think!) and docnew and docopen will not. 3. MS dumped autonew and autoopen a few years ago in favor of docnew and docopen (and wbnew and wbopen for excel). There used to be an MSDN article I could point people to that had a little bit of insight, but I haven't been able to find it for a while. Hope that helps shed SOME light. There's lots of cool discussions going on over at VBAX, and you could certainly start one about this! ******************* ~Anne Troy www.OfficeArticles.com www.MyExpertsOnline.com "Daiya Mitchell" wrote in message .. .

Hi Anne,
I won't quibble (too much!) but there really isn't that much practical difference between the Document_New/Open procedures and the AutoNew/Open ones. The article http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DocumentEvents.htm discusses them in the first two sections. The Document_ procedures, which go into the ThisDocument module, are event handlers. The Auto macros, which go into a regular module, are just ordinary macros except that Word is hard-coded to look for them at appropriate times. The article discusses some differences in when the two types will execute. A little-known fact is that the command WordBasic.DisableAutoMacros 1 will prevent AutoNew/Open from running (http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/...icCommands.htm). There's nothing comparable for the event handlers. I'll be signing up for VBAX, too. Looks like fun! -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Anne Troy wrote: Ah, Daiya!
