I have created some long documents using Word 2003. My employer needs the
documents to open on his Word 97 machine (he is using Windows 98) at 100%
view. My problem is that I don't know how to ensure that a document saved on
my machine will open on his machine at 100% view. Currently all the
documents are opening on his machine at 200% view.

A solution that I can employ to save my documents and have them open on his
machine at 100% viewing size?

As explained in http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm, you
should be able to save the 100% zoom in the document. For a document that
already exists, you'll have to make some small change, such as adding and then
deleting a space, to make it save.

If you find that doesn't do the job (and Word 97 is a bit quirky), you may need
a macro in your employer's Normal.dot template, named AutoOpen and with a line
that forces the zoom to the desired value:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom=100
End Sub

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm if you need instructions.
