Resize Window, maintain 100% text size?

DavidJ726

When I'm working in the Normal or Print view and resize the window, the text
automaticaly shrinks & I have to go to View>>Zoom and select 100%. Is there
a way to eliminate these steps and have it so when I resize the window the
text doesn't automatically shrink?

Thanks,
David

The zoom is stores with the document - you have yours saved as 'page width'.
You need to reset it to 100%

For new documents see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm

You can control the zoom with auto macros in normal.dot. The following will
set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it should be.
Change the 100 to any preferred zoom level. I have included also some of the
other regular problem fixes, but you can remove the extra lines if required.
If you want normal rather than print layout view swap the apostrophe from
the beginning of the line where indicated to the other.
