I just purchased a new Dell computer with Series ST2210 21.5" W Full HD
Monitor, 21.5 VIS, VGA Cable.

Everything in Word and other software (Photoshop, etc.) are stretched. I had
to purchase latest software with Photoshop to be able to correct stretch to
normal view/size.

For Word2007, I really don't want to buy Office 2010 yet. So, I saw your
suggestion for a Macro. But I don't know how to try that. Do I go to Macro
button and choose record macro? This is all new to me. All I want is to view
my Word docs in normal view/size that isn't stretched on this monitor. Here's
your macro you gave. Do I use that one? Why is it spelled Sub Makro1 and not
Macro?

Sub Makro1()
With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Zoom
.PageFit = wdPageFitFullPage
.Percentage = 25
.PageFit = wdPageFitNone
End With
End Sub

It sounds like your display output is simply set to the wrong
resolution -- not a software question at all.

I'm having the same issue as SLB. I've recently purchased a new monitor
(16:9, my old one was 4:3) which has meant I've now got enough room to have
two pages next to each other at 100% zoom.

I've tried the method already mentioned (choosing 1x1 page then zooming in
using the + at the bottom right of the screen) but that didn't solve it.

There is nothing wrong with my display resolution as it's only Word that has
this issue. I have to zoom into 120% in order to have one page displayed at a
time, and that's too close.
