Default Slide Zoom Size to 100%

[Guest]

How do I set the default zoom size to 100% for slides? When I open a
powerpoint presentation it always is set at 50% when I open a document. When
I go into Tools, Options, Open all Documents using this view..., it only lets
me set whether I want Normal - Slides Only, etc.

Note that I am talking about opening powerpoint presentations I receive from
others. I am constantly receiving presentations from many different authors.
I have no control over how they saved their presentations.

PowerPoint always opens presentations at whatever zoom level they were last
saved at.

One workaround would be to install the free PPTools Starter Set
http://starterset.pptools.com

It includes a button that sets zoom level to Fit To Screen with one click.
