I first posted this in the word.vba.general group but there was no response.

Sorry for the cross post but I need an answer soon.

 We have a network with several users using word97 with different sized
 desktops.

 We would like to standardize the Page Zoom to 90% on all new documents and
all old documents.

 I copied have the following code in the normal.doc

 Private Sub Document_Open()
     ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 90
End Sub

 First is it possible to do this without code.

 Second How do I make this work when there are no active documents. (ie user
 opens the file from the file system or closes all documents then opens a
new
 one?)

 Thanks

This was the subject of a recent discussion on Woody's Word lounge that
resulted in 12 replies. It is more complex than you might think. Rather than
repeat them here, the link to it is:

page=2&view=collapsed&sb=5&vc=1

(This is all one line from http to =1 so you will have to cut and paste it
into your browser rather than just click on it.)

Hope this helps.
