For certain projects, I prefer to work at 85%, and always have to enter "85%"
manually in the Zoom menu box every time I open certain documents. Is there a
way to ADD a percentage to the dropdown Zoom menu in MS Office, Word 2003? I
don't want to change the DEFAULT, because I work at different percentages
depending on the project. But can one add customized choices to the menus?

No - but it is a simple matter to add a toolbar button to give you that:
amount of zoom

Sub Zoom85()
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 85
End Sub

or the following will toggle between 85% and 100%

Sub Toggle85()
If ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 Then
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 85
Else
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End If
End Sub
