I have a user whos view by default is to view 2 pages when at 100% zoom. I can change her view by going to View - Zoom - Zoom- then Zoom to 100% and then seleting page width which works great that time, but when she closes that document and brings up that document again or another document it by default opens that document with the 2 pages at 100% zoom again. So my question is how do I make it so that by default it open every document this way. These documents she is opening are shared documents and I have opened them on my PC and they open to the one page at 100% zoom, so it must be a setting on her PC. Any advice to fix this issue would be greatly appreciated.

This is a result of the aspect ratio of the monitor. At 100%, by default Word will display 1 page on a 4:3 monitor and 2 pages on a 16:9 monitor. I find the 2-page spread to be more productive, but if it must only display 1 page, Stefan's macro at the link he included will do the trick.

For new documents only, here's an undocumented trick that will work.

1. Close all other documents and open Normal.dotm. This is usually found in C:\Users\YourUserName\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\Templates and AppData is normally a hidden folder.
2. Set your preferred view. Then make a small change to the file, like typing a space character.
3. Save.
4. Delete the space character.
5. Save again.

All newly-created documents will open at the View settings you used to save the Normal template.
