When I used to work with WP there was a way to remove all menus from the
screen so that a person had 100% of the screen to work with. Is that feature
available with MS W 2007? Any help would be appreciated.

Office Button | Word Options | Customize | All Commands | Full Screen
Reading.

Not a simple Full Screen toggle as in previous versions, but I suppose you
can add this command (?) to the QAT. OTOH, there is neither a ViewFullScreen
nor a FullScreen command under All Commands in Tools | Customize in Word
2003 (though it does appear in the View category), so it may not be
available as a command in Word 2007, either.

The closest you have is the Full Screen Reading view. It's on the View
buttons at the bottom right corner of the screen next to the Zoom Slider.

Make sure you check out the View options for Full Screen Reading view, for
example you can show a single page, show it as it would look when printed,
ect.

The only other alternative is to use a macro for this, the old Full Screen
view is still available but only accessible through the object model. Here's
the macro:

Sub FullScreenView()
With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With
End Sub

Note you need to press Esc to close the Full Screen view.

No, sorry. Neither of these suggestions accomplish what is needed. What is
desired is to be able to work with a full screen without all of the real
estate gobbled up by menus, etc. Thanks for the try

Ctrl+F1 hides the ribbon. If you then put the QAT above the ribbon
tabs (sharing space with the title bar), you have only two rows of
stuff at the top, a total of maybe 40 pixels, plus the status bar at
the bottom. If you also let the Windows taskbar autohide, the active
page occupies more than 90% of the screen depth. That's as good as
it's going to get.

I suspect you didn't try my macro method. :-)

In doing so, all you see is the document on the screen, perhaps a small area
to the left and right of the document, and nothing else.

I am ashamed to admit that I did not. Have worked with Word Perfect for over

in WP. I figured it would take a rocket scientist to do this one ... or at
least a little more help from someone in this group. (smile)

I successfuly run the macro and then exit MS Word. When I start it up again
I get the message that the macro cannot be found or has been disabled
because of macro security settings. My settings are "enable all macros." I
have run your suggested setup twice now. Each time the macro works ... only
until such time as I exit MS Word and then start it up again. Then I get the
error when I try running the macro. This had to be too easy (smile)

Can't afford the time until then, but am anxious to give macros a try
in Word.
With appreciation

template)"
- Click Create
- Copy the lines from below:

With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With

- Paste the copied lines between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub
- From the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Office Word

To add the macro to your Quick Access Toolbar:
- Click the More button (down pointing arrow) at the end of your QAT
and then click More Commands

I suspect you didn't try my macro method. :-)

[Beth Melton]

It sounds like the changes your Normal template aren't being saved when you
exit Word. Any changes you make are saved at that time unless to manually
save your Normal template. Quick Access Toolbar customizations, btw, aren't
stored in your Normal template which is why the button is still there but
the macro is missing.

Try creating the macro again (you should be pretty good at this by now!
;-) ) BUT before you exit the Visual Basic Editor, click the Save button in
order to manually save your Normal template and not depend it being saved
automatically when you exit Word.

Now, why it isn't being saved is the primary problem. Do you have the Adobe
Add-in installed? If you do then this add-in is known for discarding changes
you make to your Normal template when you exit Word and that's likely the
cause. If you need help disabling the add-in just let us know. If you don't
have the Adobe add-in then let us know that too because something else is
preventing the changes from being saved.

Also, since the macro is in your Normal template you shouldn't need to alter
your macro security since it's considered a trusted template. That being the
case, you may want to change your macro security back. Usually if you use
macros then the recommended setting is "Disable all macros with
notification.

I successfuly run the macro and then exit MS Word. When I start it up
again I get the message that the macro cannot be found or has been
disabled because of macro security settings. My settings are "enable all
macros." I have run your suggested setup twice now. Each time the macro
works ... only until such time as I exit MS Word and then start it up
again. Then I get the error when I try running the macro. This had to be
too easy (smile)

you described it seem so straight forward. Excellent, Beth. Easy,
because your instructions were precise and I followed them to the
detail. Being new to MS Word, you momentarily thru me with your "QAT",

was looking for. Thank you again.

Disabling the Adobe Add in (on) did the trick. I am not sure what long term
effect that will have on Adobe. However, the same add on (in) was creating
another error when trying to access certain web sites. It seems that every
thing was cleared up however after I loaded internet explorer and disable
the Adobe Add in (on)

Thanks for your help. FullScreenView macro is now working

The Adobe application itself will still work fine. If you never used the
Adobe add-in from Word then there won't be an issue. If you did you can
still use the Print dialog box and use the Acrobat PDF printer. Note that
Office 2007 now has PDF capabilities as well so you may not need it for
converting documents to PDF anyway.

I am back to square one on this issue again. I had to reinstall my system
and applications. And for whatever reason I can't get the macro to stick. I
create and recreate. Exit MS and the macro disappears somehow. Disabling
add-ons does not seem to help. Any other suggestion out there would be
appreciated. I surely like the feature of being able to work full screen.

[JERRY[_2_]]

FIXED IT!
Have to save before you exit the Visual Basic Editor. Beth mentioned this
earlier, but I forgot to click the Save button in order to manually save the
Normal template and not depend it being
saved automatically when you exit.

I am back to square one on this issue again. I had to reinstall my system
and applications. And for whatever reason I can't get the macro to stick. I
create and recreate. Exit MS and the macro disappears somehow. Disabling
add-ons does not seem to help. Any other suggestion out there would be
appreciated. I surely like the feature of being able to work full screen.
Thanks
Jerry

Glad to hear it's now working. :-)

The Adobe application itself will still work fine. If you never used the
Adobe add-in from Word then there won't be an issue. If you did you can
still use the Print dialog box and use the Acrobat PDF printer. Note that
Office 2007 now has PDF capabilities as well so you may not need it for
converting documents to PDF anyway.

Disabling the Adobe Add in (on) did the trick. I am not sure what long
term effect that will have on Adobe. However, the same add on (in) was
creating another error when trying to access certain web sites. It seems
that every thing was cleared up however after I loaded internet explorer
and disable the Adobe Add in (on)

Thanks for your help. FullScreenView macro is now working

It sounds like the changes your Normal template aren't being saved when
you exit Word. Any changes you make are saved at that time unless to
manually save your Normal template. Quick Access Toolbar
customizations, btw, aren't stored in your Normal template which is why
the button is still there but the macro is missing.

Try creating the macro again (you should be pretty good at this by now!
;-) ) BUT before you exit the Visual Basic Editor, click the Save
button in order to manually save your Normal template and not depend it
being saved automatically when you exit Word.

Now, why it isn't being saved is the primary problem. Do you have the
Adobe Add-in installed? If you do then this add-in is known for
discarding changes you make to your Normal template when you exit Word
and that's likely the cause. If you need help disabling the add-in just
let us know. If you don't have the Adobe add-in then let us know that
too because something else is preventing the changes from being saved.

Also, since the macro is in your Normal template you shouldn't need to
alter your macro security since it's considered a trusted template.
That being the case, you may want to change your macro security back.
Usually if you use macros then the recommended setting is "Disable all
macros with notification.

I successfuly run the macro and then exit MS Word. When I start it up
again I get the message that the macro cannot be found or has been
disabled because of macro security settings. My settings are "enable
all macros." I have run your suggested setup twice now. Each time the
macro works ... only until such time as I exit MS Word and then start
it up again. Then I get the error when I try running the macro. This
had to be too easy (smile)

Well, I just couldn't wait until the weekend, especially since the
way you described it seem so straight forward. Excellent, Beth.
Easy, because your instructions were precise and I followed them to
the detail. Being new to MS Word, you momentarily thru me with your
"QAT", but after pause. I figured it out. The macro worked and it
was what I was looking for. Thank you again.

You're welcome. It should be pretty easy, a few button clicks and
copy paste. Once you create the macro and try it out, let us know
if that's what you were looking for. :-)

Thanks Beth
I'll give it a try over the weekend and the end of my normal
workweek. Can't afford the time until then, but am anxious to give
macros a try in Word.
With appreciation

Well then why didn't you ask? ;-)

To use the macro follow these steps:
- In Word, click the Microsoft Office Button and then click Word
Options
- In the Popular section, turn on Show Developer tab in the
Ribbon
- Click OK to close Word Options and apply the change
- On the Developer tab, click Macros
- In the Macro Name text box, type FullScreenView (no spaces
allowed)
- Make sure the Macros In list reflects "Normal.dotm (global
template)"
- Click Create
- Copy the lines from below:

With ActiveWindow
.View.FullScreen = True
.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit
End With

- Paste the copied lines between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub
- From the File menu, click Close and Return to Microsoft Office
Word

To add the macro to your Quick Access Toolbar:
- Click the More button (down pointing arrow) at the end of your
QAT and then click More Commands
- From the "Choose commands from" list, select macros
- Select the macro, FullScreenView and click Add to add it to
your QAT
- Use the Modify command to modify the icon and ScreenTip, if
desired.
- Click OK to close Word Options
- Try the macro.

I am ashamed to admit that I did not. Have worked with Word
Perfect for over 20 years and am tying to convert to Word. Never
was much good with macros in WP. I figured it would take a rocket
scientist to do this one ... or at least a little more help from
someone in this group. (smile)
