Default How to set the default zoom for Word in Office XP.

Is there a setting somewhere that would allow me to set the default zoom when
I open a document? Every doc that I open I manually set the zoom to "Page
Width".

Thanks in advance.

The Zoom ratio is saved with each document. For new documents, see

To prevent document settings from overriding preferences add the following
lines to each of an autoopen and an autonew macro

With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End With
