View question

[Guest]

Whenever I bring up a new Word document I like to view things at 115%. Every
time a document is in front of me (I happen to be using a large flat-panel
monitor) I want it at 115%, and if it's not originally at this particular
view setting I will go ahead and change it.

Is there any way to make this the default viewing size?

The reason I'm asking is because for some reason Word likes to change these
View settings very regularly. It seems like every time I create a new Word
document it's always at a different view setting -- sometimes 90%, other
times 100%, sometimes 85%. The remarkable thing about this is that I have
never used these other settings.

What's going on?

Thanks for any and all comments!

A pair of macros will force the view regardless of what has been saved in
the document:

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 115
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 115
End With
End Sub
