Default View set to 'best fit' for User

Hi

Excel 2003.

I have a workbook with multiple sheets. Each sheet has multiple tables, two
to a printing page.

What I would like to do is set the document to open so that the view is
exactly a page wide for the User. For example when i set the zoom to 75%, it
looks perfect for me but when colleagues use the document, it appears a lot
more zoomed in.

I have no problems using a macro on opening of the document if needed!

Any help, much appreciated!

Hi,

The problem here is that Excel doesn't know the screen resolution so its
necessary to call a Window's DLL. John Walkenbach has something on DLL calls
in his PowerProgramming book, and maybe on his website?

You might explore he

You may or may not like the results but put this is the ThisWorkbook module
to do every sheet

Private Sub Workbook_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
ActiveSheet.UsedRange.Select
ActiveWindow.Zoom = True
Range("a1").select
End Sub
