Default shared file want same view

Put the settings you want them to start off with in the workbook's _Open()
event handler:
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
ActiveWindow.Zoom = 75
End Sub

would set the view to 75%. If you are unsure of how to code up instructions
for setting all of the things needed to insure that people at least initially
view the workbook as you intend it to be viewed, record a macro that sets
things up exactly the way you want and copy the code it creates into the
_Open() event routine.

If you're unsure of how to put code into the Workbook's events, here's a
page with instructions, with screen shots, to assist. It's actually one of
those things that it takes longer to tell how to do than to actually do it.

I want everyone who uses the shared file to have the same view. I see under
custom views all the personal views listed. Do I just delete them, or will
they be re-created as each person saves the workbook.

The problem comes when someone updates the file and puts in the new
worksheets we want everyone to view them at 75% and there are several other
settings.
