Can you change the default setting in Word from 100% view to 105%

[DeanH]

Open any document based on the Normal template. Change the zoom to 105%. Do
an edit (even a space, delete space), then save the document. The next time
you open Word it should be at 105%.
Hope this helps

If you want the default setting changed - I should have said Open the
Normal.dot and do the change, do an edit, save.

Thanks DeanH. Do you know how to change the default so that everytime you
open or create a new document the 105% is the default instead of 100%?

When I change from Print Layout to Normal View and save a document and then
open or create a new document the view seems to stay the same but the 105%
size is gone and replaced with the 100%

This setting must be set in the template file.
The Normal.dot and other templates are usually hidden files in a folder like
the following:
C:\Documents and Settings\"UserID"\Application Data\Microsoft\Office\User
Templates
If you don't see them, change the Folder View settings to show hidden files.
Select Normal.dot, right click and "Open".
Now change the zoom setting. Do an edit, save, delete edit, save, close.
Some people say that you don't need the first save but I have found this a
sure way of making the change stick.
Open a file and cross-fingers the zoom is saved.
If you have other templates, this will need changing as well, individually.
Hope this helps

Change the zoom setting -
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm
or
You can control the zoom with auto macros in normal.dot. The following will
set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it should be.
Change the 100 to any preferred zoom level (I have already changed it to
105).

I have included also some of the other regular problem fixes, but you can
remove the extra lines if required. 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()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
'**********************
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
'**********************
.Zoom.Percentage = 105
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View

'**********************
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
'**********************
.Zoom.Percentage = 105
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub
