I have a high resolution monitor and Word automatically shows me two pages
side by side when I am viewing a multi-page document in "Print Layout." I
would like to continue viewing in Print Layout, yet I only want to see one
page on screen at a time. Is there anyway to disable this feature?

Select a different Zoom ratio on the Zoom menu.

That changes the size of the text which annoys me. I would just like to
disable this feature, I don't understand why Microsoft would make it
mandatory.

Hmm, I see what you mean. If I change from 100% to 50%, I also get two
pages. Since I can't possibly read text at anything less than 75% or so, I
hadn't realized this.

So is there anyway to disable it or you don't know of any? Thanks a lot for
all the help you've provided so far, however.

Hi Brand,

There are a couple of things you can try, but basically
Word is sizing the view of the documents to a percentage
of the viewable canvas, not a 'fixed dimension'.

Instead of using the Zoom drop down on the toolbar
see if using View=Zoom=Many Pages and choosing
the 1x1 choice works.

If not you can narrow the Word display by switching
it to be less than full screen; or turning on the taskpane
or creating a new, blank toolbar through Tools customize,
dockinig it to the edge of the screen and dragging the
width to tell Word there is less space to work with.
