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.

    You asked a question and I gave you the correct answer. Then you argued about it and I explained the answer. Now it is my fault that you don't like the answer?

    Whether you like it or not, the answer I have repeated several times and confirmed by fellow MVPs in this thread is correct. Arguing about it is not going to make it wrong. ... or would you prefer that we gave you wrong advice just to please you?

    As for the MVP business - I was awarded MVP status because I provide my spare time and expertise to help fellow users sort out the Word related problems and have done so for many years. Few are the occasions when recipients of information provided are so ungracious as to argue the point, when they are clearly wrong.

    If you are frustrated and annoyed by being given correct advice then frankly I wonder who has the problem here.

    @Graham: I asked you nicely to leave. I have since reported both of your replies, since your posting now is only intended to frustrate and annoy. With a record like this, I wonder how you maintain MVP status. I've never encountered an MVP that issues blanket statements like you, and then takes jab at someone when they disagree. Really unprofessional.

    Why not report everybody else who has joined in in telling YOU it is YOU who are wrong.

    You should also note that Graham - like all MVPs is a volunteer not a professional.
