Thanks for the response, but how do I enter this macro? Sorry!

From within Word, press Alt+F11 to display the Visual Basic Editor. Click View | Project Explorer. Click the "Normal" project (= the Normal template). Click Insert | Module. Paste the code in my previous message into the module. Click the Save button. Exit the Visual Basic Editor and restart Word.

When I clicked on Project Explorer after Visual Basic Editor, it did nothing.

Here's what I all go to:
Thanks again

Since you already have a module called "NewMacros," you can make use of that one. Double-click the module to open it and paste in the code from this thread.

My mother is visually impaired. I want to open and create office documents in a default zoom setting (300%). I looks like I need the proper macro to do this. Is it possible?

Something like this should work:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 300
End Sub
 
Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 300
End Sub

Wow! That was quick. This will work.

Could you point me in the direction of the macros I would need to do the same thing with Excel (I know that's a different ballgame) and Outlook?
