Default launch size and location
When I open a Word Document and then resize and relocate so it takes up about
half of the right side of my screen, it will continue to do that in that session, but how can I set up a default so all Word documents open in this way? |

Default launch size and location
In Word2007, if I've closed a sized a document, the next document I
open opens to that size. (Same with Reader, so maybe it's a Windows Vista thing rather than a Word thing.)

What I think you are describing is the zoom setting - see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm or You can control the zoom with auto macros in the normal template. The following will set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it should be. Change the 100 to the preferred zoom level that causes Word to display in half the screen (which will vary according to Window size).. If you want normal rather than print layout view swap the apostrophe from the beginning of the line where indicated to the other. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub AutoNew() With ActiveWindow.View '********************** .Type = wdPrintView '.Type = wdNormalView '********************** .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() With ActiveWindow.View '********************** .Type = wdPrintView '.Type = wdNormalView '********************** .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub if however it is the complete application window size and position that you want to fix, then Word should open with the last used Window size and position, but again you can force the issue with a macro e.g. Sub AutoExec() Application.Move Left:=450, Top:=9 Application.Resize Width:=493, Height:=677 End Sub Record a macro while you position the window as you require it then substitute the numbers in the above macro (or name your recorded macro AutoExec so that it contains the two lines as above.). -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Lyn wrote: When I open a Word Document and then resize and relocate so it takes up about half of the right side of my screen, it will continue to do that in that session, but how can I set up a default so all Word documents open in this way? |

That's what I'm saying -- if I do that in my current session, it will open
other documents in that same size. But if I close Word or shut down my system, the next time I open a Word document it opens to full screen. I'm asking how I can change that default so it always opens to just half the size of the screen. "Peter T.
