Change print preview default %

[Guest]

How do I change the default size (%) in Word 2002 print preview?

Intercept the FilePrintPreview command with the following macro in
normal.dot:

Sub FilePrintPreview()
Application.PrintPreview = Not Application.PrintPreview

If Application.PrintPreview Then
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
'If you don't want 100% zoom, use a different value.
End If

End Sub

If you need assistance, see http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Is there an easier way? For some reason my preview is now coming up at 10%
and not 100% and i know that i never went into the macro (because i don't
know how to intercept a command in a macro. Sorry not too computer savy.
thanks

Please disregard my last question. I found the answer by clicking on the one
page option next to print preview icon and now it opens to %53 . Thanks
anyway

Cretaing a macro with the same name as a built-in command intercepts that
command, so simply installing the macro -
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm - would intercept the
PrintPreview command.

Note, however, that the zoom percentage doesn't necessarily stick with Print
Preview, if you save, close and reopen the document.
