From: Beth Melton on 3 Jan 2010 18:16 An alternative is to use a macro for this, the old Full Screen view is still available but only accessible through the VBA. Here's a macro you can use: 'Macro for switching to Full Screen view in Word Private iZoom As Integer Sub FullScreenView() With ActiveWindow If .View.FullScreen = True Then .View.FullScreen = False If iZoom > 10 Then .View.Zoom = iZoom End If Else .View.FullScreen = True iZoom = .View.Zoom .View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitTextFit End If End With End Sub Note you need to press Esc to close the Full Screen view. However, if you use ESC your Zoom setting will remain the same as it was when you switched to Full Screen. You may want to assign a keyboard shortcut to the macro so you can run the same macro to toggle between Full Screen and your previous view along with the Zoom setting. If you don't know how to use the macro provided in the post: - Copy the lines/code between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub - In Word, on the View tab, click the Macros button. (If you click the arrow below Macros, click View Macros) - In the Macro Name text box type: FullScreenView (Make sure you do not include spaces) - Make sure the "Macros in" list reflects "All active templates and documents" - Click "Create" - The Visual Basic for Applications (VBA) Editor will open. Paste the previously copied code between Sub FullScreenView and End Sub - Copy the first line: Private iZoom As Integer from this post - In the VBA Editor, place your insertion point at the top of the module (the white page that contains your macro) and paste the copied line. (Note if you see Option Explicit at the top then paste the line below it.) - Click the Save button to save your changes. - Click the Close button in the upper right corner to close the VBA Editor. To assign a keyboard shortcut: - Right-click your Quick Access Toolbar (QAT) and then click "Customize QAT" - Location the option for Keyboard shortcuts near the bottom and then click "Customize" - In the Categories list, select Macros (near the bottom of the list) - Select the FullScreenView macro on the right - In the "Press new keyboard shortcut" text box, press your desired keyboard shortcut on the keyboard. For example if you want to use Ctrl+Alt+S then just press those keys on the keyboard. - Click Assign. - Click Close to close the Customize Keyboard Shortcut dialog box. If you also want to add the macro to the Quick Access Toolbar, the don't close the Options dialog box and use these steps: - From the "Choose Commands From" list, select "Macros" - Select the FullScreenView macro and then click Add to add it to your QAT. - After it's been added you can use the Move Up/Move Down buttons on the right to change its order or use the Modify button near the bottom to assign a different icon and change the ScreenTip text. When you are finished, close the Options dialog box. ~Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP "Frank A." <nomorespam(a)spam.com> wrote in message news:op.u5y1i0i2ry49an@----------.wp.shawcable.net... > I'm trying out Word 2007 and am baffled by the seeming absence of the > ability to hide the Status Bar (on the bottom) and the Full Screen > option.

From: Doug Robbins - Word MVP on 3 Jan 2010 18:24 I do not believe that you can make it fit to width. The size is based on displaying two pages at a time. -- Hope this helps, Doug Robbins - Word MVP Please reply only to the newsgroups unless you wish to obtain my services on a paid professional basis.

Looks like I'll just toggle Full Screen (Alt_V_U) back and forth. Its a good, efficient and practical solution. Hurrah for Usenet! :) Thanks people. We would all be less productive without you.
From: Frank A. on 4 Jan 2010 16:02 Beth, how about Alt_V_U? And Escape to cancel. Takes about a millisecond.

Oh yeah, the old Word 2003 accelerator does still work. I seem to forget about those. It doesn't appear to make it fit to your screen width, though, and I accommodated that for you in my macro. But I'm glad to hear you found something that works for you. :-) ~Beth Melton Microsoft Office MVP "Frank A." <nomorespam(a)spam.com> wrote in message news:op.u500qfihry49an@----------.wp.shawcable.net... > Beth, how about Alt_V_U?
