Setting default zoom level in Word

[Guest]

When I start Microsoft Word, or open a new page (Control+N), the zoom level
is 200%. How do I set the default level, to say 100%, on Word startup and
when opening a new page?

Hi Suzanne. I've looked at the MVP reference you kindly provided. I've tried
searching my C drive for Normal.dot using Windows explorer, it does not find
it. I have also looked in Tools->Options->File Locations->User Templates;
this location is empty. Can you suggest how I might find or restore the
Normal.dot template. Many thanks.

Look in the "To make other changes" section of the article at
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/customization/CustomizeNormalTemplate.htm
for an explanation of how to find normal.dot.

Finally I used Windows Explorer to find the templates folder, used right
click to open the Normal.dot file, modified the zoom option on the View menu.
I had to type and delete characters other than blanks and delete them to get
the undo button not greyed out. However the "save" option on the File menu
was not there, Cntrl+S would not work. I closed out of Word and restarted
Word and the zoom level was what I had changed it to. Thanks for your help.

By default normal.dot is a hidden file. You will need to search for hidden
files.
