Print Preview - default scale

[Guest]

When I open documents I would like scale to always be 100%, but when I open
documents its usually set less than 60%.

I try setting it to 100%, closing it, and reopen but it does not seem to
rember the last setting.

Is there a way to set default scale on Print Preview?

Thanks, Len

Put the following macro in your Normal template:

Sub FilePrintPreview()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintPreview
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100
End Sub

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

---Correction---

Use this macro instead:

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


If Application.PrintPreview Then
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End If
End Sub

Thanks for quick response!
I made slight modification, but this is macro that worked in the end for me:



Sub FilePrintPreview()

' FilePrintPreview Macro Displays full pages as they will be printed

ActiveDocument.PrintPreview

If Application.PrintPreview Then
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End If

End Sub

Glad I could help, and thank you for the feedback.

Note that your modified version prevents the File | Print Preview
command from acting as a toggle, since you are using the PrintPreview
*method*, which switches to print preview, but it doesn't close print
preview. However, the Close button on the Print Preview toolbar still
works (it runs the ClosePreview Word command).
