How to set page default at certain percent?

AJP · #1 08-04-2013, 11:52 AM

Greetings! I've always wondered if it is possible to set Word's preferences to show the page at a certain percentage. More often than not, I manually adjust the page view at 200%. Is there any way to set this as a default?

Thank you!

At least in WinWord, you must make use of auto macros to ensure that all documents display in the same view and zoom:

Code:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 200
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 200
End Sub

Put the macros in the Normal template. For installation instructions, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.
