Centering the page in center of your monitor

How do I center a page in the center of my monitor? I go to view > 1 page, but if I do that, although the page is centered, as soon as I zoom in, the entire page is set off to the left, as if it were in a 2 page view. I want to fix my view at one page, centered in the middle of my screen, with any zoom level I like.

using msword 2010, w7 64, 1920x1080 monitor

I learn something new about Word every day ...

I have to go out and can't check this properly at the moment (and the behaviour seems a little odd at first glance) but there is a setting in VBA - Zoom.PageColumns - that (partially) controls what you want. I will dig a little further on my return.

    I’ve got a 22” monitor running 1920 x 1080 and I need 114% to go down to a single centred page (though I use 120% for obvious reasons).

    Excuse me, but there is no way that word has "always" been like this, so that is just flat out false. I figure if you are willing to make a claim like that, others will be more helpful. Please do not post here again; I do not want to have to re-post my concerns.

     

    The fact that you don't like the answer doesn't mean it is wrong.

    I get the same as Jay using 1600 x 1200.  Below a certain percentage zoom the word 'page' moves progressively left.

    Thanks, but I do not want huge text nor do I want to work in a windowed environment. No software that contributes to causing physical discomfort or pain is worth using.

    I find it very hard to believe that word has always been like this. Can anyone confirm that Word 2007, 2003, XP, and 2000 exhibit the same behavior?

    Can anyone else chime in on whether there is some modification -anything - that can be made to stop this behavior in any version of Word?
