WD2000: Zoom.PageFit Property Returns Unexpected Value for wdPageFitFullPage

ID: Q210109

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft Word 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you try to run a Visual Basic for Applications macro that changes the Zoom.PageFit property of a Web page, there is no error and the PageFit property may return a seemingly incorrect value when set using the wdPageFitFullPage constant.

CAUSE

This behavior is by design. Because a Web page zoom factor cannot be set to Full Page, the page is set to an allowed zoom value, and no error is returned.

Allowed zoom values are:

10%
25%
50%
75%
100%
150%
200%
500%

For example, the following macro sets a document view to Web Layout and then attempts to set the Zoom property to wdPageFitFullPage:


Sub SetWebPageZoom()
   With ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View
      .Type = wdWebView ' Set view to Web Layout.
      ' Numeric value for wdPageFitFullPage constant is 2.
      .Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitFullPage
      ' The following may return 0.
      MsgBox "Zoom Page fit type is " & (.Zoom.PageFit)
   End With
End Sub
