Yes, you can modify the PrintPreview code. Click Tools/Macro/Macro. Check to make sure that the Macro In shows All Active Templates and Documents. In the Macro Name input box, type this name EXACTLY as I have below. FilePrintPreview Then click Create. You'll go into a Macro code area in the VB Editor that will have something like the info below already written: Sub FilePrintPreview() ' ' FilePrintPreview Macro ' Displays full pages as they will be printed ' ActiveDocument.PrintPreview End Sub You will need to add one line of code after the line written there. You'll add the view percentage. The total code should NOW look like this: Sub FilePrintPreview() ' ' FilePrintPreview Macro ' Displays full pages as they will be printed ' ActiveDocument.PrintPreview ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 75 End Sub As long as you typed everything EXACTLY as I told you do write it...whenever you click PrintPreview...the new macro you wrote with the same name as the master command for this feature, will be overwritten so the percentage will be 75%. If you decide to change this in the future, you can choose this same FilePrintPreview macro, click Edit and change the percentage to whatever you want. To return the program back to the original format, just delete this macro. You will NOT delete the master command, as they cannot be deleted. But you can override all commands by modifying them to what you want.
