Change zoom on old documents

N

Neil

My user has created several documents when his normal.dot
was set to 75%. I know it is possible to save the setting
when you save this as a copy. He would like to have these
old documents open in 100% and to remain this way when he
closes word. I have now set his normal to 100% but this
only affects new documents. Any ideas please???

You need a couple of small macros in normal.dot to force the change. If you
already have auto macros in normal.dot, add the extra lines of code into
them. The macros set print layout view - the alternative code for normal
view is in the first macro.

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub
