To force a "Page Width" zoom on all documents, you'll need a couple of auto macros in the Normal template:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End Sub
 
Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End Sub

For assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
