Setting default zoom

[Alan Neilsen]

Can I set up Word 2007 so that every document automatically opens with 100%
zoom, or at least the same zoom the document had when last saved? For some
reason, Word documents always open with reduced zoom, too small to read for
an old bloke like me. If I could get the documents to open at 100% zoom it
would save the need to change the zoom setting every time I open a document.

Change the zoom setting -

or
You can control the zoom with auto macros in normal.dot. The following will
set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it should be.
Change the 100 to any preferred zoom level. I have included also some of the
other regular problem fixes, but you can remove the extra lines if required.
If you want normal rather than print layout view swap the apostrophe from
the beginning of the line where indicated to the other.
