More permanent "Fit to Page" in Word?
I was looking to set a Fit to Page measurement in a Word document,
like we can do in Excel, but I found only a reference to a temporary FtoP option: ******************** 2009-08-24 07:53:59 (http://tipsforwordprocessing.com/mw2k0022.html) Microsoft Word 2000 Fit Multiple Pages on One Page .... To try this trick, choose the "File" menu and select "Print". On the "Print" dialog box that appears, head to the bottom-right section of the window labeled "Zoom". Click the "Pages per sheet" pulldown and select how many pages that you want printed on one sheet of paper. ... ******************** What is a more permanent way to set it as a document default, like we can do in Excel? Thanks! D |

More permanent "Fit to Page" in Word?
Word has limited capabilities in this respect. What you can do is choose the
"2 pages per sheet" option in File | Page Setup (Layout tab). If I remember correctly, this option should be available in Word 2000 (it's been a while since I used that version). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "StargateFan" wrote in message ...

Settings in File | Page Setup are saved with the *document*. However, it
won't be a default setting in Word, until you click the Default button in the dialog box; it will then be saved to the attached template (which is normal.dot unless whoever created the document explicitly chose a different template). If you find that clicking the Default button doesn't work, something is preventing you from saving to your template. If you are on a company network, the network administrator may be that "something." -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "StargateFan" wrote in message ...
