How to open documents in a specific size each time

[Abi]

How do I get Word to open documents in a specific size each time (e.g. 120%)?

The zoom is saved with the document (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm).

However, if you want to force a specific zoom on all documents, whether you
saved them or not, you can make use of auto macros:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'Print Layout view
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 120
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'Print Layout view
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 120
End Sub

Place these macros in your normal.dot(m) template. For assistance, see
