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.

    In windows 2010, go to the View tab.

    Click on One Page

    Click on Zoom

    In the Percent: window, type 120%

    Worked for me!
