Display Size Changes (2002)

Topic

New Reply

People,

I am running Word 2002; & viewing documents on a 19″ Monitor. Sometimes when a Word document opens, the viewable area is full width, with text looking . . . well . . . huge. Other times when a doc opens, the viewable area only encompasses about 2/3 of the display, with a lot of empty area on the right margin (both of these phenomenons occur in “Normal View.”)

The viewable size always corresponds to the previously opened document.

Trouble is, I have no idea how each view size was created.

I prefer the larger size (which was one of the reasons I went with a larger Monitor); & need to know how to configure Word in order to have any basic document fill the display . . . every time they’re opened.

Thanks in advance,

mark4man

I have found that most of the time, the zoom scale is based on the last save of the file.

Can you read a full line with out turning your head, if not you should not be using such a large display of the file. Twisting your head to read a file is not good for the neck.

Dave,

I get it . . . it’s “Zoom Scale” (for me, “Page Width” turns out to be 166%.)

Thanks much,
