Hello Michael,
You should find that documents will re-open with the same zoom value you had
when you closed them (and the same view, e.g. Page Layout view).
To have blank new documents open at 185%, do a Spotlight search for
"Normal", which will find Word's Normal template (or [hard disc
name]/Users/[your user name]/Documents/Microsoft User Data). Open it, set it
at 185% via View menu -> Zoom, save and close. (Maybe you will need to quit
Word the first time to "set" it, but I don't think so; right now I can't
quit Word on my computer to check for you.)
If you want to have a reference on making a toolbar button that saves you
having to choose View menu -> Zoom -> [set percentage], post back...
Cheers,

I like to zoom all documents I'm working on to 185% in Page View in
Microsoft Word for Mac 2004. I'd like this to be the default view
when I open any Word documents. How can I save this workspace so
every document is opened at 185% zoom? Every time I save my document
in this zoom, when I open it again its back to 122% zoom. I've
looksed in prefs, but can find no settings. Thanks!
