As Suzanne says it used to be simple, but Word 2003 especially has a mind of
its own. You can control the zoom with auto macros in normal.dot. The
following will set it to 100% zoom regardless of what the document thinks it
should be. Change the 100 to any preferred zoom level. I have included also
some of the other regular problem fixes, but you can remove the extra lines
if required. If you want normal rather than print layout view swap the lines
where indicated.
