SYMPTOMS
If you start or open an 8.5-by-11-inch (letter-size) publication in Publisher and your screen resolution is 640 x 480, the publication opens with a 25-percent view percentage. In contrast, a letter size publication in Publisher 2.0 has an initial zoom percentage of 33 percent.

NOTE: If you save the publication with a wizard open, when you open the publication, Publisher may set the zoom percentage to 10-percent.



CAUSE
When you open a publication, Publisher zooms to the largest view percentage that will show you a full page. Because Publisher 98 requires more space to display all the toolbars than Publisher 2.0 does, there isn't much room left on a 640 x 480 screen. This means that publications open with a smaller view percentage.



RESOLUTION
You can increase the initial zoom percentage by hiding the rulers or toolbars. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the View menu, point to Toolbars, and clear (uncheck) the Toolbars you want to hide.
 * 2) To hide the ruler, click Ruler on the View menu.

This will free up more space on screen to display your publication.

NOTE: There are alternatives to every button on the Standard toolbar. Therefore, the Standard toolbar is a good choice to hide.   Standard Toolbar Button              Equivalent Action -
