I have a table set at 140%. Often when I open the file it resizes itself to
100%. I save it again at 140% but it keeps resizing itself.

What is happening?

Unless the table is wrapped, you can't set the width to more than the margin
width (100%).

Hi, Peter. See
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm. An
alternative method would be to create an AutoOpen() macro that opens
this particular document at the specified zoom:

Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 140
End With
End Sub

If you don't know how to install a macro, see

Many thanks

However when I now open the document I get a MS Visual Basic message that
"the macros in this project are diabled"

How do I enable them? (Word 2002)

Thanks

Hi, Peter. In Word, click on Tools | Macro | Security. The macro
security level is set to High by default. You can either:
1. Change the security level to Medium. Close Word. Restart Word.
With this option, each time you start Word, you will be get a prompt
asking whether you want to allow the AutoOpen macro to run. Or...
2. Click on the Trusted Sources tab and check the "Trust all installed
templates and add-ins" box. Make sure you trust all installed templates
and add-ins before you do this. Close Word. Restart Word. With this
option, you won't be prompted every time you start Word.

Thanks garfield

It's not working

I have tried both your suggestions and I still get a box. If I put security
on medium I get a bbox prompting to enable/diasable macros.

The trsusted sources tab had the box checked in all the time.

Any more suggestions?

Hmmm... Not sure why it's not working for you like it does for me.
When you get the box prompting to enable/disable macros, what happens if
you say 'enable'?

Next time round I get the same box!

Only way to get rid of boxes seems to be to set 'low security'


Any ideas?

Well, that's the way it's supposed to work if you have saved the macro in a
document. Did you save the macro in Normal.dot?
