You can learn about code to set the zoom level, by turning on the macro
recorder (tools=Macro=Record a new macro) and then changing the zoom level
(View=zoom). Now stop recording.

To learn about application level events see Chip Pearson's page on this:

http://www.cpearson.com/excel/AppEvent.htm

You could put such code in the personal.xls workbook so these events would
be started each time Excel was opened.

If you instantiated application level events and use code
to set the zoom to 125.

each page stores its own zoom setting.

In Excel is there a way to open all documents with a
default window size, for example 125% ? This would include
documents that I create as well as those sent to me by
others.
