Hello,

I have Word 2013, and when I open a document, it usually displays in a two-page view that doesn't suit me. How can I set it to default to a single-page view? Thank you in advance.

    Hello Hugo,

    With Word 2007

    tab View, Zoom group, click on "One Page"
    corresponding keyboard shortcut: < Alt >< n >< 1 >

    If the display is too small, set the zoom back to 100%:
    same tab and same group: click on "100%" or:
    < Alt >< n >< 0 >

    I'll let you find the equivalent on your Word 2013.

    If your problem is resolved, please indicate so,
    so the topic can be marked as resolved.

    Best regards. :)

      Thank you for this response, but what I'm looking for is that before even opening a document, for example, 2 pages long, I want to be certain that it will be displayed one page at a time and not with 2 pages side by side. So I'm looking to set a default setting for all documents to open in Word, one page at a time!

      It's annoying to have to click on the display one page and then zoom 100% every time I open a file. :- )

        Hello Hugo,

        I think that if you do what I indicated for Normal.dotm
        and save it, it will work as you want.

        I'm not sure, and I would need to modify my own
        file Normal.dotm to verify it; which I prefer to avoid
        because those manipulations are tedious; besides, it would be
        a double modification for me since I don't have your problem.

        But you have nothing to lose by trying; of course, do what you need
        to revert it back to how it was before in case it doesn't work.

        Good luck! Best regards. :)

      Where can we find the Normal.dotm file?

      Hello,

      This is not a normal.dotm configuration but just a display setting.
      In principle, Word opens or creates a document at the last zoom level used. Unlike Excel or PowerPoint, where the zoom level can be saved with the document, as explained here:
      https://support.microsoft.com/en-us/office/zoom-in-or-out-of-a-document-presentation-or-worksheet-0a0ebbed-10e7-444b-b16b-6f0c090f8ec7?redirectsourcepath=%252ffr-fr%252farticle%252fmodifier-le-facteur-de-zoom-d-un-document-30fadeda-c0c2-47e1-b7e2-f19d68d9fded&ui=en-us&rs=en-us&ad=us

      The problem can be solved by a macro that would trigger when Word opens, but it's still not normal to have to resort to that.
