Document View and saving

S

My wife does a lot of typing for a thrid party. As part of the typing she typically will zoom in on the document so she doesn't strain her eye. However she forgets to resize back to the "standard" size when she saves the document and sends it to her customer. Her customer is not satisfied with this. Is there any way to make Word 2003 save the document to a particular size automatically without her have to to manually resize the document?

thanks

It's possible to add an AutoOpen macro to change the zoom to a certain percentage when the document is opened, or an AutoSave macro to change the zoom when the document is saved. Such macros will likely trigger a Macro Security Warning (this document contains macros that may be harmful...) when the customer opens the document, so macros are probably not a good solution. It would be best for your wife to train herself to change the zoom back to normal before she saves the document.

Hmmmm. If the macros were in the document template the recipient should not
have a problem. However, I guess I would simply intercept the FileSave and
FileSaveAs commands to add the change of zoom setting there by adding
macros to normal.dot
eg

Sub FileSaveAs()
On Error GoTo oops
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
Dialogs(wdDialogFileSaveAs).Show
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
oops:
End Sub

and

Sub FileSave()
On Error GoTo oops
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
ActiveDocument.Save
oops:
End Sub

Note - the SaveAs macro does not include code to test whether the file
already exists.
