Word document too big for screen.

[Guest]

When I open a Word document, it is too large for the screen. I have to
scroll from side to side to see the whole thing. The font size is set to 12,
but the letters are huge on the screen. How can I make the document fit in
the screen in a normal way?

Change the zoom setting -
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm
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.
