Normal View gives much too tiny fonts and zoom does not work
Word 2003 on Windows XP. Two userids on the system. On one of them, Normal
View displays really really small (two or three pixels per character) and the View-Zoom menu options are not effective. I try setting 100%, 200%, specific zoom, page width nothing changes, and when the View-Zoom menu is reopened, the item I just finished selecting is once again blank. The zoom functions do work in Print Layout, for example, but not in Normal View. On the other userid, the zoom functions work fine in Normal View. I have compared the NORMAL.DOT for the two userids, and they are identical. I have scrolled through the option and customization settings, and they seem identical. How do I get Normal View to accept zoom? Thanks. Randy |

While the Normal.dots may appear identical, they may not be. I would try
renaming the one that gives the problem to oldnormal.dot and the restart Word and see if the behaviour has changed. -- Please post any further questions or followup to the newsgroups for the benefit of others who may be interested.

Normal View gives much too tiny fonts and zoom does not work
The normal.doc files were identica per windiff.
Eventually, after six hours, I gave up, and found a document on the web somewhere about resetting the Word 2003 registry and templates using the SUPPORT.DOT template supplied with Word. This fixed the problem, at the cost of having to reconstruct customization. Randy "Doug Robbins - Word MVP" wrote in message ... While the Normal.dots may appear identical, they may not be.
