Please! everytime i go to "print preview," the zoom default is ridiculously
small and i'm tired of manually adjusting it everytime. i am embarrassed to
say how long i've been trying to fix it and i'm fed up. please please humor
me! thanks

Hi Jason

My guess would be that the Word Data key in the registry is corrupt. The
following page describes what to do:

What exactly does the Data Key in the Registry store?

Hope this helps.

Or you could use a macro in normal.dot to force your preferred zoom. The
following sets 100%. The alternative commented out line to FullPage Move the
apostrophe to the following line to swap them

Sub FilePrintPreview()
ActiveDocument.PrintPreview
'ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitFullPage
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom = 100
End Sub
