Set Default to One Page View

[revolution]

Oh my gosh - someone has to have a solution for this! Office 2007 likes to
open things in Two Page View and it drives me crazy! Things I have had sent
from other people, new documents, downloaded documents, etc.

Can anyone tell me how I can fix this problem????

I tried some macros but honestly they want to align the page to the left. I
just want to print layout, one page view to be my "always use" setting...
HELP!

The number of pages shown in Word 2007 depends on the combination of
the zoom setting and the screen size and resolution. If you set the
zoom factor high enough, it will switch to one-page view. Find out
what minimum setting does that on your computer. Then use the AutoNew
and AutoOpen macros at the end of
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm to set the zoom for new and
existing documents, respectively, to that value.

As per my original post, I have tried using macros and did not find this
offered the solution I wanted. I have to believe Microsoft MUST have a place
this can be set as a default setting, without a need to rely on macros and
other advanced tools. I find this feature a terrible annoyance, as do many
others posting all over the internet.

Please post back if there is a solution that does not rely on macros, which
allows me to set a default view to use the "one page view" as opposed to the
"two page view" which appears to be the current default.

I have to say that I would not be happy, either, if I had to display two
pages in order to see a page at a specific Zoom setting. If I just want to
see *one* full page, then Word should not offer me two unless I ask for it.

I probably have a higher than average tolerance for distracting UI,
but it doesn't bother me if there are two pages on screen instead of
one page and a lot of wasted gray space.

That tolerance might disappear if Microsoft actually used that gray
space intelligently, such as an option to let the ribbon display
vertically on one side (in Word 2003, I have toolbars down both sides
as well as across the top).
