Excel question

[Howard Schuman]

My Excel 2003 figures insist on zooming to a default of 125%, which
makes the full figure unreadable on my screen without scrolling. I'd be
glad to know of a simple way to change the default, ideally once & for
all, but if not initially, then at least when a figure is saved. Any
advice that doesn't require extra programming will be appreciated.   hs

A little Googling goes a long way: http://excelzoom.com/2009/02/set-excel-zoom-level/
I don't have Excel on my laptop (only OO), so I didn't test it. You probably need to copy/ paste the code, and save it to a template (in MS Word it's called normal.dot, in Excel it's often called personal.xls), not to the excel file itself.

Cheers!!
