and also, at 150%?



I would like to do this in excel as well as word.

Not sure about Excel, but for Word have a look here:

Don't let the fact that it "seems" PC Word specific concern you although the

location of Normal will be different (with no .dot extension), and if using

Safari you may need to hit the Reload button once or twice.

i have found a templates folder but "normal" isn't in it

As I wrote, Normal on the Mac doesn't have a .dot extension, it's simply

called "Normal"



Where you'll find it depends on which version of Word you're using - which

you still haven't mentioned. Have a look here:

I am using word 2004 mac. I found it, it's in Documents/Microsoft User

Data/Normal



but now I realize that it must be opening new documents in "normal"

view and at 204%.I don't know why I thought it wasn't... perhaps it's

the existing documents? At any rate, I am sure it does this for excel,

so I am going to try to figure that out now. If you know how to change

it for excel...?

Hello,

the same is true for excel at least I have try it now for zoom on PC.

You need to locate Personal.xls. I think It's called personal workbook

on mac. Anyway open excel and new document and navigate to

window>unhide it should ask you for personal whatever... pick that

file, say yes, set your zoom to what ever you want and save it and at

the end make sure you navigate back to Window>hide to hide your

personal workbook.



Did you know, you can easily assign keyboard shortcut for zooming in

and out to your document? Tools>customize. I cannot give you the whole

description now, as I'm on PC, but I can do that on Monday or you

might have a look into help or give it a try.
