    I'd like to change the default view in Word for Mac to 150%, but can't remember how to do it. Anyone?

    The following works for me with Office 2004 for Mac, but only when dealing with new blank documents. I've yet to find a way to have ALL documents open at a predefined zoom level:

    1) Open Word.

    2) Select Word > Preferences > General > deselect "Show project gallery at startup".

    3) Open new blank Word template.

    4) Set zoom to preferred level

    5) Quit Word

    6) Voila! When you start Word again a new, blank document opens at the predefined zoom level.

    Thanks for that.

    But yes, it's the view in general I'm after. Still, 'tis little my trouble.

    When you adjust the size it should automatically remain that way even when you reopen Word.

    No, not for documents I'm opening. I get a document from, say, Enterprise Ireland, and up the size to 150% and read it and close it.

    When I open the next document (even if it's that same document), the size is back down to 100%.
