It is true I can make the window smaller which is hardly convinient and means having to resize the window every time I opened word. The situation has got worse now that I find 3 pages crammed onto one page and yet can hardly read the text. This surely must be a bug? Surely the developers are not intending to force the number of pages we view on a page? As it is I have already had to pay extra for software that will allow me to customise the ribbon bar, am I now expected to look for software so I can see what I am typing? Delboy I don't understand what is going wrong with your version of Word 2007 but you are not explaining the problem particularly well. '3 pages crammed into one page' is not helping us visualise what is on your screen.
When working in Print Layout view (Page Layout view in Word 97), you can display multiple pages on the screen at the same time. This is a great help if you have a large, high-resolution monitor. Seeing two pages at one time allows you to get a real sense of how your words appear on the page. To change the default view to Draft view when a Word 2007 document is opened, follow these steps: Click the Microsoft Office Button, and then click Word Options. Click Advanced. Under General, click to select the Allow opening a document in Draft view check box. On the View tab, click Draft in the Document Views group.
Your initial description sounded a little like you were changing the document view rather than the zoom but again it isn't fully clear. Each document view can have a different zoom associated with it so that is the only case I can think of where you could 'increase the zoom' and actually see more pages.
The One Page/Two Pages buttons on the View tab don't actually specify a particular zoom value - the zoom you get depends on the size of your window. I don't find these buttons useful and would suggest you don't use them as they artificially constrain the pages you would see on screen if you then modify the zoom.
Instead, first hit the 100% button in the View>Zoom area THEN use the zoom slider in the bottom right of the window. In Print Layout when you use the slider - if you reduce the zoom percentage then the number of pages that fit the screen will increase.

Moving the slider to the right will increase the zoom and reduce the number of pages you see. FWIW, the next version of Word has the ribbon customisation built-in but I haven't used it yet so don't know how it goes.
In any case, I find that editing the ribbon directly with the free Office 2007 Custom UI Editor is workable but can be slow to learn. Delboy, I know EXACTLY what you are talking about. Put a new computer in my office with a new monitor. I want to be able to SEE one page that looks like an 8 1/2 x 11 sheet of paper both when I am composing messages as well as reading messages that are sent to me.
