Not sure about Excel, but for Word have a look here:
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm
Don't let the fact that it "seems" PC Word specific concern you although the
location of Normal will be different (with no .dot extension), and if using
Safari you may need to hit the Reload button once or twice.

As I wrote, Normal on the Mac doesn't have a .dot extension, it's simply
called "Normal"
Where you'll find it depends on which version of Word you're using - which
you still haven't mentioned. Have a look here:

I am using word 2004 mac. I found it, it's in Documents/Microsoft User
Data/Normal
but now I realize that it must be opening new documents in "normal"
view and at 204%.I don't know why I thought it wasn't... perhaps it's
the existing documents? At any rate, I am sure it does this for excel,
so I am going to try to figure that out now. If you know how to change
it for excel...?

Hello,
the same is true for excel at least I have try it now for zoom on PC.
You need to locate Personal.xls. I think It's called personal workbook
on mac. Anyway open excel and new document and navigate to
window>unhide it should ask you for personal whatever... pick that
file, say yes, set your zoom to what ever you want and save it and at
the end make sure you navigate back to Window>hide to hide your
personal workbook.
Did you know, you can easily assign keyboard shortcut for zooming in
and out to your document? Tools>customize. I cannot give you the whole
description now, as I'm on PC, but I can do that on Monday or you
might have a look into help or give it a try.

Making changes to the normal template is an excellent way to set preferences
for new documents. However, if you wish to have documents you receive from
others open in normal view at a specific zoom, an AutoOpen macro is very
helpful. Mine includes:
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 135
ActiveDocument.PrintFractionalWidths = True
Languages(wdEnglishUS).DefaultWritingStyle = "Technical"
End Sub
for new documents. However, if you wish to have documents you receive from
others open in normal view at a specific zoom, an AutoOpen macro is very
helpful. Mine includes:
Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 135
ActiveDocument.PrintFractionalWidths = True
Languages(wdEnglishUS).DefaultWritingStyle = "Technical"
End Sub

that's a good tip, thanks.
I haven't been able to locate "personal" yet. what is strange is it
doesn't come up in the "spotlight" search. and "normal" didn't come up
either.

this looks very useful. is this a macro that would be applied to the
"normal" template from inside word, under tools> macro?

Yws. Copy the contents of the macro:
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 135
ActiveDocument.PrintFractionalWidths = True
Languages(wdEnglishUS).DefaultWritingStyle = "Technical"
Go to Tools/Macro/Macros. Type "AutoOpen" in the name box at the top of the
dialog. Click "Create" button.
Window will open with Sub...End Sub. Paste stuff. From File menu choose
"Save Normal". From Word menu, Quit and return to Word.
