How do I change the default Zoom level in Word 2007 to 100%? bbriley42 12/5/2008 9:38:10 PM When I start a document in Word 2007 (or open an existing document), the zoom level is too high and I have to go to the View menu to change that. Is there a place where I can change the default zoom level to 100%?

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. If you want normal rather than print layout view swap the apostrophe from the beginning of the line where indicated to the other.
