Hi Ludwin,

"View" is in Word a property of the "Window" object. In the OLE control you have a "Document" object.

So you may try ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = 1

Valid Values for PageFit:

wdPageFitNone = 0
wdPageFitFullPage = 1
wdPageFitBestFit = 2
wdPageFitTextFit = 3

But this only works for "activated" OLE controls. If you have it only inactive I don't know a way how to change to preview. I know only the PowerBuilder property "SizeMode" of the OLE control.

HTH,

René

Hi René,
thanks for the quick answer. But unfortunately "ole_word.ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit" does not compile. It seems that "ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit" will not compile with my OleControl.
It seens that "ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit" is only for OleObject.

Have you tried recording a Macro in Word and do those actions of preview and zoom, fit, etc.?

When you then stop the recording and edit the macro, you should find all the VBA syntax you can use with OLE in PB.

HIH

Another thing I'm thinking of is that in Word your zoom / pagefit will be relevant to a certain "page size" like A4, not to the size of a control in which the document is displayed. 

Hi, Ludwin - 

Here's a documentation link you may find helpful: MS Office Object Model Reference for Word

Good luck!

Hi Ludwin;

  FWIW: I do not use the MS-Word OLE for this. In stead, I use either an RTE or RT DW for displaying the MS-Word doc. I use the OLE session to have MS-Word save the .Doc file as an .RTF and then use PB's native controls. I like the RT DW better as the DW can then scale & zoom it.

  Food for thought.
