Is there a way to have Excel load a new workbook that is larger. I have a small screen laptop with Office2003 and I have to go thru Vie:Zoom:Custom:130% when I use Excel. The other Office programs seem to open large enough for me so far. Thanks
 
Hi John

you can use the workbook_open event and change the zoom:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 130
End Sub

Though this will only zoom the active window

You can create your own, use zoom 130% and save as Book.xlt
and put it in your start folder. Now all new wbs should be 130% zoom
