100% Zoom, single wide page in Word
Here's what worked for us (we're using MS Word 2003):
Open your document. On the toolbar, choose "View / Web Layout" On the toolbar, choose "View / Print Layout" Voila! 100% zoom, single wide document on a widescreen monitor For some unknown reason, choosing any other view mode prior to "View / Print Layout" will not work - you must choose "View / Web Layout" first, followed immediately by "View / Print Layout". Weird, huh? |

Hi Droppros,
That will only work if Print Layout view was previously at 100%. No matter what zoom you use in a different view, Print Layout view will always revert to whatever zoom it last had.

Yes but the original question/problem was how to view a single page at 100% zoom (not multiple sheets side by side), and doing our method above solves it.

As I said, only if that's what you had beforehand. If, for example, you had a two-page view in Print layout view at, say 50%, toggling to Web Layout view and back only reduces the view to a single page, but it doesn't change the zoom factor. Similarly, if you previously had a single page viewed at 125%, toggling to Web Layout view and back retains the 125% zoom.
IMHO, therefore, you're overstating your solution's efficacy.

I think you're losing sight of the issue. The issue is how to view, at 100% zoom, a single page, rather than multiple pages or documents side by side. We all know how to change the zoom - that is not the issue. Prior to our "work-around", it has not been previously discovered how to have a single document at 100% zoom on a widescreen monitor. How it's achieved or what the prior zoom is or was is not the issue - the target here is how to get a single document wide at 100% and our solution works.

I have a widescreen monitor, on which it doesn't work - with either Word 2003 or Word 2010 (I have both). I'm glad it works for you, but it's clearly not a solution for everyone. A robust solution, rather than a system-specific workaround, needs to work on all platforms.

Have you tried the macro in post #15 in this thread (with a zoom change from 125 to 100)?

I'm afraid the macro is a bit advanced for me. Is the Word macro applicable to Excel? I have found that when I zoom with the slider to 159 it gets close to showing the one page only. But this is fairly clumsy to have to mess with each time I work on any Excel document (which is all day). If I should proceed with the macro, I would need further help with how to do that....
Thank you!! |

Also, just FYI for the others, when I zoom to 70 I get THREE pages.

The macro is for Word, not Excel; this is a Word forum, after all. Excel does not have a page metaphor - it's simply a huge grid that can (but doesn't have to) be broken up into pages. It seems your expectations re Excel misunderstand this. Of course, if you only want to see the equivalent of a page, you could reduce the Excel window size instead of zooming - or you could hide all the columns (and/or rows) outside of what you want to view.

2 pages
If you change the zoom to 110%, it switches to one page viewing. It's very confusing, and I dislike it very much, but it is the only way that I have been able to figure out. I hope this helps.

Awesome. What a weird thing to figure out It's not much different from switching the zoom to 110%, though.
