On my pc running XP there's a neat little tool in word to change the
view of a text document into an eye-friendly book-type layout. Does
word:X have something similar? i couldn't find it the other day when I
was looking.
You mean view->page view and size-> 2 pages kinda thing?
There is probably a naff little icon for that. If not, it is really
easy to make a macro to do that. I don't have big enough monitors to
bother, but yesterday I recorded a macro to change to page view and
page width. I assigned it to a keystroke, because I never want to be
caught clicking on a button for anything. That is *so* last week. Try
butchering this closer to your needs:-
Sub pageWidth()
'
' pageWidth Macro
' Macro recorded 05-01-2004 by Elliott Roper
'
If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView
Else
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPageView
End If
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End Sub
Yesterday? How time flies!
Used the recorder. Not an ounce of thought went into it.
