I would like to change the default percentage in print
preview.(word '97)
Thanks for your help.

Please see:

How can I make Word open new documents in a certain view (Normal or
Page Layout) or at a specified zoom ratio?

Sorry, I didn't read your question carefully enough. :-(

The article I referred to doesn't answer that question.

You probably have to intercept the FilePrintPreview command; the
following code seems to be working:

ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintPreview
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100

(If you want some other percentage than 100, use that value instead!)

For general information about intercepting Word's built-in commands,
see:

Generally speaking, Print Preview opens at the Zoom ratio last used (even
when you don't want it to). Only if you try to compel it to use a specific
Zoom does it seem to get balky. <sigh>

Or to make sure that the Print Preview toolbar button acts like a
toggle, try the following code:

Sub FilePrintPreview()
If Application.PrintPreview Then
ActiveDocument.ClosePrintPreview
Else
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintPreview
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100 'Or your desired value
End If
End Sub

Yes, annoying, isn't it? I'm hoping that my little macro should make
it possible to set a specific zoom level!
