I'm looking for a way to set a zoom magnification in Word as a default so
that whenever a document is opened in Print Preview, it will be opened to the
zoom that I specify. Does anyone have any ideas on how I could accomplish
this?

Many thanks!

Only way I know how is by using ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage, and it isn't permanent. It can, however, be placed inside a FilePrintPreview() sub in a global template or add-in to trap the user clicking on the print preview button.

The following page has a pretty good explanation of this technique:

Put something like the following in your as an AutoOpen macro in your
document template:

Sub AutoOpen()

WIth ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 105 'or whatevey you prefer
End With
