To force all documents to open at 120%, the AutoOpen macro would need to
include the line:
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom.Percentage = 120
If you name a macro AutoOpen, it will be run each time any Word document
[based on that template] is opened. Hence, for most document, putting
AutoOpen into Normal.dotm will usually do the trick.
For me, a zoom of 160 is optimal. Yet, I have clients who love to view
documents at 80% and sometimes smaller. My AutoOpen macro keeps me from
having to reach for the zoom each time I open documents they send me.
