Word should remember the last-used zoom setting for documents.
In Office 2003, Word remembers the last zoom setting you used when creating a
document. If you zoom to 110% and save and exit, the next document you create in Word will automatically default to 110% zoom. However, this does not seem to be the case in Office 2007. I want my default zoom to be 110% for best readability on my monitor, but I can't figure out a way to change this in Word 2007 and it's quite annoying that I have to manually adjust it from 100% every time I make a new Word document. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word should remember the last-used zoom setting for documents.
Word 2003 does not behave the way you described. (I just tried it
again to verify.) Saving just any document at a particular zoom does _not_ have any effect on the zoom for new documents. What does have an effect is changing the zoom of the Normal.dot template itself, making a change that Word detects as requiring a save, and saving that. The procedure is described at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm. The exact same behavior occurs in Word 2007, except that the name of the template will be either Normal.dotx (if it isn't macro-capable) or Normal.dotm (if it is macro-capable). -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.

I just tried this in Word 2003, and the original poster's ideas seem to be
correct on my version. When I open Word 2003, change the zoom to 110%, close Word (no need to save since there are no document changes), and reopen the program, the zoom says the same (at 110%), rather than go back to the deafult 110%. Perhaps this was a missed bug in Word 2003? "Jay Freedman" wrote: Word 2003 does not behave the way you described. (I just tried it again to verify.)

What you're describing is a somewhat different situation: what you're saying
is that Word opens at the Zoom in which it was closed. This is what users expect, that they can change View and Zoom settings and have them saved upon exit. It doesn't always happen, however; I invariably close Word upon an open Document1 (which I keep open all day as a scratchpad) in Normal view at 100%, with the ruler displayed. Most of the time that's the way Word opens, but occasionally I get Print Layout view, often the ruler is not displayed, and sometimes I get 105% Zoom. sigh -- Suzanne S.
