Word 2007 Page View
I am working in the Print Layout view in Word 2007 on both a desktop and a
laptop. The desktop screen is square in shape, but laptop has a screen that is wider than it is high. I prefer to view my documents on page at a time and at 80%. This is possible on the square, desktop monitor, but when I use the laptop Word 2007 insists on showing two pages at once. The only way that I can view just one page is if I zoom to 100%. I have tried to change the options for €śone page€ť or €śtwo pages€ť under the view tab, but I can not get one page at 80%. I dont understand why this basic control of a page view has been taken away in Word 2007 because I could do it in Word 2000. Clearly Word sees that I have a wide screen and therefore tries to fill it. Can anyone please tell me how to stop Word 2007 from showing two pages at certain zoom values? This only happens on a wide screen monitor. Thank you. |

Word 2007 Page View
So, you're saying that if you zoom to 80% and then click the One Page icon
in the View tab (might need to nudge the zoom tool to get back to 80%) you still don't see just one page at 80%? When I zoom to 80%, it indeed does show two pages. But, if I then click the One Page tool in the View tab, that takes care of the problem (actually, here it changes the zoom to 73%, but I'm then able to click the + on the zoom tool (in the status bar) and then see 80% and just a single page. -- Herb Tyson MS MVP Author of the Word 2007 Bible Blog: http://word2007bible.herbtyson.com Web: http://www.herbtyson.com "Jeff" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Page View
Hello and thank you for your help. I have tried what you are suggesting and
Word does as you saw, it only allows certain zoom values when you view one page. When I zoom to 80%, for example and then click on "view one page", it changes my zoom to 71% to fit the one page in the screen. When I click on the + button, the zoom does increase, but I only have the option of seeing two pages. Clicking on the €śone page€ť button again returns my zoom to 71%. Word seems to act differently on different monitors. On my laptop I have a choice of either 71% or 100% if I want to see one page only. Any zoom value in between gives me two pages on the screen. This does not happen on my desktop. Word must be aware of the monitor width and the default appears to be to show as many pages as possible for a given zoom. I would very much like to turn this €śhelpful€ť option off. Thank you. |

If you know how to make your own toolmenu, you can use this macro:
Sub Makro1() With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom .PageFit = wdPageFitFullPage .Percentage = 25 .PageFit = wdPageFitNone End With End Sub "Jeff" skrev: Hello and thank you for your help.

Perfect. I wrote a macro as you suggested and now I can force the document
to remain in the center of my page at the magnification that I choose. Thank you Akyhne Jeff |

You are welcome.
I don't know much about Word macros, only Excel, but it should be possible to make a "Zoom" menu with different levels, e.g. 75, 80,90, 100, 1500, and so on, so that it is possible to change zoom level and keep the document centered in smaller levels. akyhne.

I just purchased a new Dell computer with Series ST2210 21.5" W Full HD
Monitor, 21.5 VIS, VGA Cable. Everything in Word and other software (Photoshop, etc.) are stretched. I had to purchase latest software with Photoshop to be able to correct stretch to normal view/size. For Word2007, I really don't want to buy Office 2010 yet. So, I saw your suggestion for a Macro. But I don't know how to try that. Do I go to Macro button and choose record macro? This is all new to me. All I want is to view my Word docs in normal view/size that isn't stretched on this monitor. Here's your macro you gave. Do I use that one? Why is it spelled Sub Makro1 and not Macro? Sub Makro1() With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom .PageFit = wdPageFitFullPage .Percentage = 25 .PageFit = wdPageFitNone End With End Sub -- SLB "akyhne" wrote: You are welcome.

It sounds like your display output is simply set to the wrong
resolution -- not a software question at all. On May 27, 3:55*pm, SLB wrote: I just purchased a new Dell computer with Series ST2210 21.5" W Full HD Monitor, 21.5 VIS, VGA Cable.

Word 2007 Page View
I'm having the same issue as SLB. I've recently purchased a new monitor
(16:9, my old one was 4:3) which has meant I've now got enough room to have two pages next to each other at 100% zoom. I've tried the method already mentioned (choosing 1x1 page then zooming in using the + at the bottom right of the screen) but that didn't solve it. There is nothing wrong with my display resolution as it's only Word that has this issue. I have to zoom into 120% in order to have one page displayed at a time, and that's too close.
