document starts at 75%

I have a document. When I open it (WORD97), it never fills up the window. It
always starts at 75%. I can change that % to 100% (upper right hand corner
of screen), but even if I then save it, when I run WORD again and bring up
the document, it still starts at 75%.

I might add that this document was first written by someone else and sent to
me as an email attachment. It's the only .doc that behaves this way.

How can I change it to load at 100% viewing screen.

Try:
http://www.mvps.org/word/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm

I use an AutoOpen macro to force all documents I open to appear in PrintView
at best fit.

Sub AutoOpen()

ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
'ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End Sub

If you want to use 100% then remove the wdPageFitBestFit line and the ' in
front of the next line and apply the macro. See:

E-mail for additional help, within reason, if you like. I may not
always solve your problem, but no charge if I do. To e-mail, first edit
out the "w...spam" in the displayed address.
 
Greg:

Thanks. Actually, the article gave me a clue to resolve the problem. It
seems when I load the file and make the change from 75% to 100%, the change
itself doesn't "register." (The clue is the UNDO function under edit is
greyed out).

So, I just put in an extra space and deleted it. Now the document is
officially changed. I saved it and then when I re-opened it, all was fine!
Very interesting!!!
