If you save the commands in an autoopen and an autonew macro in normat.dotm
this will force the setting
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 140
End With
End Sub
Sub AutoNew
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 140
End With
End Sub
Note that draft view is still called normal view in vba and you must set the
view before changing the zoom. The extra line in autoopen puts the filename
and path in the window title bar.

"How can I make Word open new documents in a certain view (Normal or
Page Layout) or at a specified zoom ratio?"

Unfortunantly it doesn't appear to work for Word 2007. How can I
force Word to start in the draft view with zoom on at 140%?
