WinWord 2.0b: Macro For Changing To Full Screen Mode

ID: Q89647

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word for Windows, versions 2.0b, 2.0c, 6.0, 6.0a, 6.0c

SUMMARY

In Microsoft Word for Windows, there is no internal command for the newly-implemented Full Screen Mode. This article contains a macro you can run to switch to Full Screen editing mode.

MORE INFORMATION

You may want to assign this macro to a toolbar button, a keyboard combination, or to a menu. See pages 767-768 in the "Microsoft Word for Windows User's Guide" for more information.

In a macro editing window, type the following macro text. The suggested name for this macro is "FullScreen" (without the quotation marks).

Sub MAIN

ToolsOptionsView .FullScreen = 1

End Sub

The following macro can be used to toggle the Full Screen option in the Options dialog (if Full Screen is active, this macro disables the Full Screen option, and vice versa):

Sub MAIN

Dim dlg As ToolsOptionsView GetCurValues dlg dlg.Fullscreen = Abs(dlg.fullscreen -1)

   'reverse the current value

ToolsOptionsView dlg

End Sub
