Word 2002 -- Is there any way to default the zoom
percentage on older documents. For example, any existing
letter I open in Word I want to 100% zoom. I've tried
adjusting the normal.dot template as well as our custom
letter.dot template but this does seem to work on
existing documents. However, any new document will
reflect the 100% zoom setting but when I open an existing
document the zoom is different. The only other way I was
able to get this to work is to re-save the existing
document as 100% zoom, re-save again and it will save the
view with the document. If you have any suggestions,
that would be great. Thanks!
 
Aside from Graham's macro, the zoom for each document is saved with the
document. To reset the zoom, open the document, change the zoom, press
Spacebar, then Backspace, then Save.

Hi Raymond,
to make the zoom percentage permanent,
you need two more lines:
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
ActiveDocument.Saved = False
ActiveDocument.Save
