Word View isn't working

[ep2002]

Hi there,

Happy New Year everyone.

So I think this issue is because of an update

I bring up a file & the view of the file is left justified instead of centered.

If I click on one page, it decreases the zoom to less than 100%. If I put it back to 100%, it puts it back to left justified AND 2 page view instead of just one page.

HELP!!!



Thanks

Go to View|Zoom, set the view to 'One Page' and increase the Zoom setting to 100% (or more, if you prefer).

Doesn't work.

There is no one page listed there.

Here's a SS.

And like I said above, if I click on the one page iton on the toolbar, it gives me one page no problem, but then it decreases it from 100% to 70%. If I increase it back to 100%, it moves the page left & it's done this with 2 files already, not just one.

And an old file that was working fine months ago.



Thanks

Try clicking the 'Page Width' option, then gradually reducing the zoom via the slider in the lower-right corner of the screen.

Didn't change anything, still left justified.

Your profile says you're using the same Word version and OS as me, but it's clear from your screenshot you're not using Word 2010. That explains why you don't see the 'One Page' option. Please correct your profile.

That said, the following macros, added to your Normal template's 'ThisDocument' module, should take care of the display issues for any documents you subsequently open/create. As coded, the macro zooms the document to whichever is the lesser of the nearest 10% zoom increment that fits the screen and the preferred zoom, which is managed by the line:
Const lZoom As Long = 110
This sets the preferred zoom % to 110%. If you prefer something else, change the 110 to suit.

Private Sub Document_New()
Call Document_Open
End Sub
 
Private Sub Document_Open()
'Preferred zoom %
Const lZoom As Long = 110
With ActiveWindow
  'Ignore any errors
  On Error Resume Next
  'Reduce flickering while changing settings
  .Visible = False
  'Switch to a single view pane
  .View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone
  'Switch to Normal mode
  .View.Type = wdNormalView
  With .ActivePane.View.Zoom
    'Set for a 1-page view
    .PageColumns = 1
    'Initialize for best fit
    .PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
    'Round down to nearest 10%
    .Percentage = Int(.Percentage / 10) * 10
    'Test zoom % and reduce to 120% max
    If .Percentage > lZoom Then .Percentage = lZoom
  End With
  'Switch to Print Preview mode
  .View.Type = wdPrintView
  With .ActivePane.View.Zoom
    'Set for a 1-page view
    .PageColumns = 1
    'Initialize for best fit
    .PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
    'Round down to nearest 10%
    .Percentage = Int(.Percentage / 10) * 10
    'Test zoom % and reduce to 120% max
    If .Percentage > lZoom Then .Percentage = lZoom
  End With
  'Display the Rulers
  .ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
  'Restore the window now that we're finished
  .Visible = True
End With
End Sub

I'm sorry, I don't know what you are talking about. I AM on 2010.

I have no idea how to use macros & I'm still confused why this is an issue now & never was before.

Thanks anyway

Sorry 'bout that. And yes, I can see the 'One Page' option on your screen shot, despite you saying:

I took your post at face value, and the only reason you wouldn't have the 'One Page' option is if you were using a different version.

For PC macro installation & usage instructions, see: http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

I meant in the box you told me to open, not uptop in the toolbar area.

I also stated in my original post that I tried all of this already (except the macros).

I'm still very very confused why I have to go to all this trouble when this was all working perfectly fine a few months ago or maybe as little as a few weeks ago. I don't remember the last time I launched Word.

I'll read the macros over when I get a chance.

Thanks

I think I know what the problem is.

The nav bar that's usually on the left is now missing. It's showing up occasionally on the left side & when it does, the page is centered properly at 100%.

Can someone tell me how to get it back so it stays?

Thanks

Right-click on the status bar at the bottom of the Window and activate the Zoom Slider.
