Setting default zoom level in Word
When I start Microsoft Word, or open a new page (Control+N), the zoom level
is 200%. How do I set the default level, to say 100%, on Word startup and when opening a new page? -- Hermes |

Setting default zoom level in Word
Hi Suzanne. I've looked at the MVP reference you kindly provided. I've tried
searching my C drive for Normal.dot using Windows explorer, it does not find it. I have also looked in Tools-Options-File Locations-User Templates; this location is empty. Can you suggest how I might find or restore the Normal.dot template. Many thanks. -- Hermes "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote: See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm -- Suzanne S.

Setting default zoom level in Word
Finally I used Windows Explorer to find the templates folder, used right
click to open the Normal.dot file, modified the zoom option on the View menu. I had to type and delete characters other than blanks and delete them to get the undo button not greyed out. However the "save" option on the File menu was not there, Cntrl+S would not work. I closed out of Word and restarted Word and the zoom level was what I had changed it to. Thanks for your help. -- Hermes "Hermes" wrote: When I start Microsoft Word, or open a new page (Control+N), the zoom level is 200%.

By default normal.dot is a hidden file. You will need to search for hidden
files. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Hermes wrote: Hi Suzanne. I've looked at the MVP reference you kindly provided.
