Zoom - why can't it remember?

[Guest]

View - Zoom - it always seems to open at 90% though I change to 100% and close.
Of course Help was no help. Suggestions?

That website is so complicated. Perhaps thorough - but beyond my needs I hope.
I took a suggestion from it though. It would seem that as long as I change
something on the Word document (I'm using Office XP) the View - Zoom settings
are stored. The problem was I wasn't saving a change. The View-zoom setting
wasn't really a change. Now it seems to be fine. Thanks for the help.

If you save the following two macros in normal.dot - see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm (which you should find easier to
follow) - documents will always open in print layout view at 100% zoom
regardless of the setting in the document. If you prefer normal view, change
Type=wdPrintView to Type=wdNormalView in both macros

Sub Autonew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub
