Hello, how can i set the excel program zoom in 80% forever. In order to each
time i open the application it opens with zoom = 80%

zoom is associated with each worksheet. It is not an application level
setting. You would probably need to instantiate application level events
and use the sheet activate event to set the zoom.

For brand new workbooks, you could create a book.xlt workbook template (stored
in your XLStart folder) that has each window the way you want.

If you want existing workbooks, then ...

Saved from a previous post:

Create a new workbook.
Add this code to the ThisWorkbook module:

Option Explicit
Public WithEvents xlApp As Application
Private Sub Workbook_BeforeClose(Cancel As Boolean)
Set xlApp = Nothing
End Sub
Private Sub Workbook_Open()
Set xlApp = Excel.Application
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_NewWorkbook(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Call DoTheWork(Wb)
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_SheetActivate(ByVal Sh As Object)
Call DoTheWork(Sh.Parent)
End Sub
Private Sub xlApp_WorkbookOpen(ByVal Wb As Workbook)
Call DoTheWork(Wb)
End Sub
Private Sub DoTheWork(Wb As Workbook)
Dim myWindow As Window
For Each myWindow In Wb.Windows
myWindow.Zoom = 75
Next myWindow
End Sub

Save this file as an addin in your XLStart folder.

Each time you create a new workbook, open an existing workbook, change to a new
sheet, it'll set the zoom to 75%.

If you're new to macros, you may want to read David McRitchie's intro at:
