Word calculates the proper zoom percentage to show a single page at the width available on your screen. Select the Page Width radio button and click OK. As you zoom in and Word discovers that it can no longer display two pages on the screen, it should switch automatically to show only a single page.Īnother approach is to choose Zoom from the View menu in order to display the Zoom dialog box. One easy way to display just a single page is to simply "zoom out" a bit by holding down the Ctrl key as you move the scroll wheel on your mouse. Try pressing the Esc key, using the view icons on the Status bar, or using the choices from the View menu to return to a regular view, such as Normal or Page Layout. For instance, if you are in Reading Layout view, it can affect what is on your screen. The first thing you'll want to do, however, is to make sure you are not using one of Word's non-standard views. There are a few ways that you can get back to a single page. In that case, as you get your zoom factor down to near 50%, Word automatically switches to display two pages. This is especially true if you are using a widescreen monitor at a high resolution. He only wants one page the full width of the screen, but he's not sure how to change that.Īs you adjust the zoom settings used by Word, you may notice that Word automatically displays multiple pages of your document at the same time. That means a button you add to the QAT would only work for some documents and assumes the Word application window is the same size.Walter's screen shows two pages of his document, side by side. The % value changes depending on the Word window size. Recording a short macro to enable Text Width mode returns this: .Percentage = 151 If you go into the VBA language you can see this. In this case that’s not possible because inside Word the ‘Text Width’ view doesn’t really exist! When you choose ‘Text Width’ in the Zoom dialog, Word works out the percentage zoom that applies given the document and the current Word window size. That’s the usual way around a missing command. Regular Office-Watch readers might be wondering why we don’t create a macro to enable or toggle the ‘Text Width’ view.
This isn’t as precise as the explicit menu option but gets the same result. Click on that button to open the Zoom dialog. Draft mode is sufficiently similar to Text Width in print layout for most purposes.Īdd the Zoom dialog to the Quick Access Toolbar.
It’s also on the Status bar (just to the left of the Zoom slide control). Draft is on the View ribbon and can be added to the Quick Access Toolbar. Here are the options available for fast access to Text Width view: Sadly Microsoft doesn’t think much of ‘Text Width’ view because it’s not on the Word 2007/2010 command list for adding to the Quick Access Toolbar (at least we can’t find it).
