I have XP Prof + SP3, using Office 2003. Just re-installed windows and
office. Now the text, although format is selected as size 12, it appears as
size 14 or larger on the page, and the text goes out of sight. Which means
that I have to scroll from side to side to read it.
Any advice on correction of this will be appreciated.

Thank you Graham, for your reply.
I have searched for Normal.dot through "Search" in the start menu, and the
result was negative! It is not in my computer under files and folders.
I do not see a 'zoom' button on the toolbar of Word either.
Any other ideas?!!
regards
Colinsp

Did you search for hidden files? Normal.dot is a hidden file in the folder
identified at tools options file locations user templates.

Your template is in a hidden folder -- when you use Windows Search,
check "look in hidden folders."

Your zoom box is supposed to be in your Standard toolbar -- if it
isn't, click the down arrow at the toolbar's right end and choose
Reset.

In Word2007 the zoom box has been moved down to the right side of the
"status bar" and made minuscule with most of the presets taken away,
and provided with a useless zoom scroll bar that cannot be moved with
any sort of precision.

In Word 2007, if you click on the percentage shown at the left end of the
zoom slider, you'll get the Zoom dialog, which contains the presets. This is
also available in the View tab on the ribbon.

For my part, in Word 2007 and earlier, I assigned zooming capabilities to
Ctrl+Alt+Shift+Up and Down, using two macros:

Sub ZoomIn()
'
' ZoomIn Macro
'
'
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View
.Zoom.Percentage = .Zoom.Percentage + 1
End With
End Sub


Sub ZoomOut()
'
' ZoomIn Macro
'
'
On Error Resume Next
With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View
.Zoom.Percentage = .Zoom.Percentage - 1
End With
End Sub

And... if those aren't enough, you can zoom using Ctrl+ Mouse Wheel..

As I said, very few presets -- only 75, 100, 200; lost are the two I
used most often, 150 and 500. (The latter for checking on diacritics,
which tend to look pretty much the same at normal screen resolutions.)
