As in Adobe Acrobat/Reader, I would like to be able to scroll down from a
letter sized document to an 11 X 17 sized sheet and have it automatically resize to fit on the screen. Any suggestions? Can this be done? Macro maybe? |

Hi Elizabeth,
If you're in Word 2007 you can use View=Zoom=Page width or View=Zoom=One Page, depending on whether you want to see the document width or literally the whole page. You can also right click the status bar to turn on 'Zoom' and click on the percentage zoom choice on the status bar to open the dialog In Word 2003, the zoom drop down has those choices. In either version you can also assign a keyboard shortcut to a particular zoom setting. In Word 2007 Office Button=Word Options=Customize=Keyboard=View and set one for ViewZoomWholePage or ViewZoomPageWidth In Word 2003, same settings but through Tools=Customize=Keyboard You can also set a default zoom setting with the information here. http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm (For Word 2007 the template is Normal.DotM, for prior versions, Normal.Dot ============ "Elizabeth" Elizabeth @discussions.microsoft.com wrote in message ...

Bob, thank you very much for the quick reply. My problem is, I have a letter
size page and then the next is tabloid. Upon my customer's request, I need to know how to get Word to "automatically" resize the view the page width when you go from page to page. The letter size is page width; jump down to tabloid and it automatically resizes to that page width. Similar to what happens if you are in print preview...it resize each page for you. Is THIS possible?

It would be really handy if you could have (without a macro) a button or
keyboard shortcut for a truly custom Zoom. I have many documents for which 105% is the optimum Zoom. In Customize | All Commands, you can get the ones you mentioned, plus 200, 100, and 75, but there's no custom selection. What I envision is something like the Condensed: button in All Commands, where you can set a specific amount of condensing (condensation?). I have (in Word 2003 and on an add-in toolbar in Word 2007) a button to condense text by 0.1 point, which I use extensively. There's no indication that you can't have more than one of these buttons to condense by different amounts; the same could be true of a user-customizable Zoom setting. -- Suzanne S.

Hi Elizabeth,
What Word 'watches' in Print Preview and Full Screen Reading view is a bit different than in the usual 'editing' views. As near as I can tell Word is using the exact same command ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit in both print layout and print preview, so perhaps internally Word is doing something along the line of 'if page being viewed changes then reset view to WdPageFitBestFit' and perhaps one of the MVPs who work with macros can write one that can do that in real time. It's what Word seems to do when you choose Zoom to Text Width (there isn't a listing for that in the keyboard shortcut list), that is, it's recalculating the size needed to 'make it fit' the current screen width. You can assign a keyboard shortcut Office Button=Word Options=Customize=Keyboard=View=ZoomPageWidth that could be used when the page size changes. By the way, you can edit the document in Print Preview (and Full screen reading view) if you turn off the 'magnifier' choice, although you wouldn't have access to all of the Word menus/ribbons/commands. =========== "Elizabeth" wrote in message ...

Thank you for ALL of your help! Yes, I think that a macro sounds exactly
like the solution. Unfortunately, I am not at that level, yet. Is there anyone who can help me with this? I would GREATLY appreciate the help@!

Hi Jean-Guy,
Yes, in older versions you can add to Print Preview view, and you could use the multipage icon from Print Preview on regular toolbars (one of my favorites that along with the zoom slider seems gone from Word 2007) Unfortunately for Word 2007 it's a bit more effort to modify that view without doing some XML work with the ribbon it would seem. In this case, the goal for Elizabeth would be to replicate in Print Layout view the Word 2003/2007 ability to maintain 'page width' and or 'text width' as a view as you scroll through a document, no matter the page size, without having to 'reset it' by running a Word command on each new page. ====================== "Jean-Guy Marcil" wrote in message ...

I can't see any straightforward and reliable way of doing this using
in-built controls (though no doubt someone will come along with a better way) but you can add a custom toolbar with two buttons - scroll up and scroll down which you would associate with the following macros. The macros simply scroll up or down five lines at a time and set the page zoom according to whether the cursor is on a portrait or a landscape page. Sub ScrollDown() Selection.MoveDown Unit:=wdLine, Count:=5 If Selection.PageSetup.Orientation = wdOrientLandscape Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit Else ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 End If End Sub Sub ScrollUp() Selection.MoveUp Unit:=wdLine, Count:=5 If Selection.PageSetup.Orientation = wdOrientLandscape Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit Else ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 End If End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Elizabeth wrote: Unfortunately, I do not know how to write a macro and I'm not sure how difficult of a task this is to ask of someone.
