Some of my Word documents open as a whole page view in print layout, I change
the view to 100% in print layout and save but when they are opened again they
are still in the whole page view? How can I set the view for 100% and keep
it that way? These need to be posted online and be readable in Internet
Explorer where the viewer may be unable to choose the view size.

When you "change the view to 100% in print layout and save," are you making
any other changes? If all you do is change the view, Word won't count that
as a change and won't really save the doc. See
