Set default so existing word documents open in Print Layout
I have several documents that when I open, I constantly have to change the
view form normal to print layout. How can I change this so that all my documents open in print layout. A blank word template opens in print layout but not once I save it. |

You can change the view and zoom settings for a template (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm) which affects new documents based on that template. But for existing documents you must make the change for each individual document. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Gee" wrote in message news I have several documents that when I open, I constantly have to change the view form normal to print layout.

Yes - that's what I thought. Pity that Bill Gates doesn't think of these
things ...!!!

You can force the view with a macro; Graham will be along soon to provide
it. -- Suzanne S.

The following macros in normal.dot should work:
Sub AutoNew() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = 3 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = 3 .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub In the above code, you can choose another percentage than 100. If you need help installing the macros, please see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
