Set Default to One Page View
Oh my gosh - someone has to have a solution for this! Office 2007 likes to
open things in Two Page View and it drives me crazy! Things I have had sent from other people, new documents, downloaded documents, etc. Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem???? I tried some macros but honestly they want to align the page to the left. I just want to print layout, one page view to be my "always use" setting... HELP! |

The number of pages shown in Word 2007 depends on the combination of the zoom setting and the screen size and resolution. If you set the zoom factor high enough, it will switch to one-page view. Find out what minimum setting does that on your computer. Then use the AutoNew and AutoOpen macros at the end of http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to set the zoom for new and existing documents, respectively, to that value. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

I have to believe Microsoft MUST have a place this can be set as a default setting, without a need to rely on macros and other advanced tools. I find this feature a terrible annoyance, as do many others posting all over the internet. Please post back if there is a solution that does not rely on macros, which allows me to set a default view to use the "one page view" as opposed to the "two page view" which appears to be the current default. |

Set Default to One Page View
I have to say that I would not be happy, either, if I had to display two
pages in order to see a page at a specific Zoom setting. If I just want to see *one* full page, then Word should not offer me two unless I ask for it. -- Suzanne S.

Set Default to One Page View
I probably have a higher than average tolerance for distracting UI,
but it doesn't bother me if there are two pages on screen instead of one page and a lot of wasted gray space. That tolerance might disappear if Microsoft actually used that gray space intelligently, such as an option to let the ribbon display vertically on one side (in Word 2003, I have toolbars down both sides as well as across the top).

Answer: Set Default to One Page View
Here's how to set the default view to one page view in Microsoft Word 2007:
Now, every time you open a new document in Microsoft Word 2007, it should default to one page view. If you have any existing documents that are still opening in two page view, you can change the view for those documents by going to the View tab on the ribbon and selecting "One Page" under the "Views" section. If you encounter any issues, please let me know.
