Zooming Level problem

[Guest]

Hello all,

I have a zoom problem. Once when I worked in a document I
upped the zoom level to 150%. Now every time I open the
document (and any other document there after) they open up
in 150% zoom, when I'm used to only working in 75%.

I've changed my normal.dot - have worked in a document at
75% zoom and saved it, but still my problem opening
documents at 150% zoom exists!

Any help, as ever would be much appreciated.

Cheers



Greg

Please see:

How can I make Word open new documents in a certain view (Normal or
Page Layout) or at a specified zoom ratio?

Hello Stefan,

What I'm looking for as well as what was suggested is a
way that even old documents I've created when opened would
open in 100% zoom.

Anyone have any ideas?

Thanks

For that you need a macro:

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 75
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
'.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 75
End With
End Sub

The above will open documents in Page/Print layout view at 75% zoom. Change
the zoom percentage and the type of view as required. I have included the
alternative settings. Move the ' to the start of the previous lines if you
prefer normal view.

If you don't know what to do with this code - see
