Default view

Guest

Hi,

I'm using Excel 2002. Does anyone know if there is a way to reset the
default view in Excel to Zoom in at 150% all of the time?

Thanks in Advance,

Saved from a previous post:

For brand new workbooks, you could create a book.xlt workbook template (stored
in your XLStart folder) that has each window the way you want.

If you want existing workbooks, then ...

Create a new workbook.
Add this code to the ThisWorkbook module:

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents xlApp As Application
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Excel.Application
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_NewWorkbook(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Call DoTheWork(Wb)
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Call DoTheWork(Sh.Parent)
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Call DoTheWork(Wb)
End Sub
Private Sub DoTheWork(Wb As Workbook)
Dim myWindow As Window
For Each myWindow In Wb.Windows
myWindow.Zoom = 75
Next myWindow
End Sub

Save this file as an addin in your XLStart folder.

Each time you create a new workbook, open an existing workbook, change to a new
sheet, it'll set the zoom to 75%.
