Dayo,

Thanks.

I have done it. Yet, when I click such "Zoom Page Width" icon on the
toolbar Word 2004 does right what showing all contents horizontally,
yet shrinks the document from 200% to 105% and I do not want it. I am
using a large 30-inch TFT Apple Cinema Display and I want to see large
fonts to read better.

I then I choose "200%" on the other Zoom icon tool, the document looks
fine vertically, but is truncated on the right side.

 I must drag manually --and that is what I do not want to do-- the
bottom left corner of the window to expand the view to the right. As
said, the TFT is a large widescreen, so there is enough area.

Note that I do not want to stretch the document to take the full screen
horizontally, but only what is required to see all its contents
horizontally.

This should be possible for Microsoft programmers only if they wish.
This feature was available many years ago in MacWrite Pro 1.5 for Mac:
clicking on the expand icon of the window always expanded the document
to show all contents and only just to show hem (no more).

Thanks again.
