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.

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.

Steven,
Since you have not answered and for what it is worth, I find Richard A's comments directed at Mr. Mayor to be both inappropriate and offensive. Furthermore they continue following your warning. Would you please ban him from posting further in this forum?

Hi Tony,
Thanks for your confirmation about word 95. It seems that 95 or perhaps 6.0 was when the functionality was first introduced. Here is a page that may show when this functionality first appeared: http://www.abadiadigital.com/articulo/evolucion-grafica-de-microsoft-word-1989-2007/.
I understand how others might not understand a need for this, but being able to force word to display only 1 page at any zoom level is important to me. I have difficulty seeing, and have some special monitor equipment in order to combat this impairment. (My monitor takes care of zooming.) Replacing and moving the monitor is not really an option for me, because it is too heavy, and the equipment comes only in certain sizes. I spend most of my time everyday on a computer, so finding some workaround is important.
TerFay - thanks for the suggestion. At least on my setup, the page becomes off center when using the navigation and styles bars.
Because of the different screen ratio, a "whole page" document takes up more of the screen width on 4:3, so the percentage at which the display "flips" is different. At present I can test only in Word 2003 and 2007 on the 4:3 desktop and Word 2010 on the widescreen laptop, so it's difficult to say what differences are attributable to the Word version and which to the screen aspect ratio/resolution.
