How do I get MS WORD for Mac to open up in "page width" v. "90%"? Thanks, DJ > How do I get MS WORD for Mac to open up in "page width" v. "90%"? I think the following is quite general. It works here. You set it up in your normal template as follows:- Start Word. Open "normal" You will find it in ~/Documents/Microsoft User Data/ if you have not fiddled with the defaults (or if I did and have forgotten where it should be;-) ) Set the zoom and page width and window size the way you want it. Type something and rub it out again so Word thinks you have changed something. Save it. Quit Word. Start Word and see if the fresh doc is how you like it.

If you want to do the same, quickly, to pre-existing documents, you can also create a keyboard shortcut and/or a toolbar button to apply "page width" as your zoom value, or indeed any other value. Post back if you need more details.

Post back if you need more > details. Yep. I did not want to clutter up my reply with arcanity. What I *really* did was assign a keyboard shortcut to the following macro. Sub pageWidth() ' ' pageWidth Macro ' Macro recorded 05-01-2004 by Elliott Roper ' If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView Else ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPageView End If ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit End Sub The result is a window that is page width to the current width of the window. I then drag the window by the bottom right to get the zoom I'm currently happy with. The keyboard shortcut fixes any old document views, and gives me a way to get my work back to looking half finished if I ever need to stray into normal view or outline view. It also works round a track changes misfeature when the page becomes not wide enough to fit the balloons.

The macro triggered by my [forgive me] button is: Sub viewOneHundredAndFortyPercent() ' ' viewOneHundredAndFortyPercent Macro ' Macro recorded 7 April 2004 by Clive Huggan ' ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 140 End Sub ... but I realize that's really only suitable for fixed-value zooms, not for your (or Daniel's) requirements. Hmm, I think I'll install this one, Elliott, and add it to "Bend Word to Your Will". Thank you! Cheers, Clive ======= |
