Default Zoom level in Excel

[SeanH]

Has anyone found a way to make Excel always open with a default zoom setting of 75%?

I found this hack but I think it’s for an older version of PocketPC

go to HKCU\software\microsoft\excel\pocket x.x\Main and then make the DWORD entry named "ZoomSetting" and then set the value to 2.

With WM5 the \Main section does not exist. I tried creating one but it did not work. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,

That would work great for creating new Excel files. I am looking for something that always makes Excel go to a 75% zoom level when you open old or new documents.

Sorry dont think that is possible - searched high and low for a fix - so did my own. Works well for new documents.

I get alot of excel files in email attachments and they always open up with a huge font. I have to change the zoom level to 75 to make the normal. Thats why your fix would not work for me.

There has to be some way to do it.
