I give up... Remember Window Size??

I hate having to post on here as I've been an iWork user since the beginning and should probably know this but here's the problem.
Every template I've created over the years works just fine in '09 - EXCEPT the blank one. I made my own blank template and when it opens, it opens in a window that is at 100% zoom, which is way too small for me. I prefer 150% but it will NOT remember to open at that zoom level.
Can somebody cast some light on this? Thanks, in advance.

Thank you for your reply. I did know about the default zoom in the rulers pane and had it set to 150%. But again, thank you.
What I finally wound up doing was using the default Apple-provided blank template, adjusting its settings and saving it as a new template. This one opens to the desired width. It's just odd that the other one (now one or two more of my templates that I didn't notice before as well) would not default to the 150% even though I had it set in the preferences.
Although I marked the question answered, maybe the discussion could continue about how '08 templates are affected by '09?

  • Some programs won't remember window size and position

    I have a couple programs, notably ComicNerd, that won't ever seems to remember window size or position from quit to restart. I can't seems to find any evidence other people are having the same problem with the program, so I assume it's something wrong with my computer. Anyone have any idea how I can fix this? Is there some permissions problem or something?

    It's likely a corrupted Preference file
    Look in your Users/Library/Preferences folder for  .plist file with ComicNerd in it and just move it to your desktop and restart the program/computer.
    The preference file should rebuild itself, so look for it and if it's in the Preference folder then delete the one on the  desktop.
    You also might want to run ALL the cleaning and maintenance aspects of the free OnyX and reboot.

    the Verify > preference (show only corrupted) should also help locate other corrupted .plist (Preference) files for similar action like you did above.

  • Remembering Window Sizes/Positions in Windows 7

    Hi
    I've read this thread regarding windows folder position/size (http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/w7itproui/thread/5b524d53-df97-405d-835f-f081d106a19b)
    however it doesn't address my issue.
    For me, anytime I open a software, position it, play around in it and then close it, and reopen it again, it never goes back to the size/position I set it to. Same with Outlook. When I open a new email window, set its size and position, the next new email
    window is never where it needs to be.
    Is there a way for windows/outlook to remember where my software windows should be based on a position/size I give it?

    Hi,
    I would like to share the following link with you.
    http://support.microsoft.com/kb/235994
    You can know that how windows remembers the Window size.
    Regarding your outlook issue, you may close outlook then delete the frame key from HKCU\Software\Microsoft\Office\12.0\Outlook\Message\ and restart outlook. This will reset the window to the default size.

  • Firefox not remembering window size with two monitors

    I have a laptop with a monitor attached - both the laptop monitor and external monitor are used as separate desktops. I have Firefox set to open on the external monitor, but it does not remember the last window size: it always opens to the size of the laptop monitor. Firefox is the only program that exhibits this behavior. I have reset, uninstalled and re-installed, yet the same behavior continues. Before re-installing, I've made sure to delete any left over Mozilla/Firefox folders.

    As far as I can tell this problem was never fixed and it goes back years:
    [https://bugzilla.mozilla.org/show_bug.cgi?id=251024 Bug 251024 - On startup the main window is incorrectly sized according to the workspace of the primary monitor]
    Even more bugs about it here:

    you can specify your preferences in systemsettings->window behaviour->window rules. Just add a new entry for the application you want to start in a specific size, position, etc.
    There are tons of options there, have fun.
    edit.: forgot to say that you can also specify a rule for more than one application.
    Thanks. I always thought this was enabled by default and maybe something was off. Guess not.

  • How to remember window sizes?

    How do I get window sizes to be maintained at the size that I had them when last opened? I.E. I open a window, arrange icons as I want them and set the window size as I want it. Next time I open that folder, everything is remembered except for the window size. Thanks...

    It won't if it's a Finder window. Mine doesn't either. Repairing probably won't help. If you open a new Finder window with a Command-N shortcut, then it will remember the size. For some reason it won't work from the dock. Not sure why.

  • Remember Window Size

    Often I will look for a file using Spotlight. The Finder window that pops up with results is always too small and I have to expand it to see all of the columns in that window. Is there a way to fix this so I don't have to manually resize the window?

    If you're looking in Safari for a Finder preference, you're not going to find it. Safari isn't part of Finder. Microsoft was the only company I know of that tried to integrate a web browser into every other function in the OS.
    com.apple.finder.plist was modified when I changed the search window size, so perhaps deleting that will allow it to write the preferences.
    I set the size via preference and that was it: SearchViewSettings>WindowState>WindowBounds.

  • Firefox won't remember window size within the window

    The size within the window will not remember it's size.
    By either using the - / + or "Ctrl" & scroll wheel to change the size within the window...Firefox won't remember and when you go to the next window or link or tab or new page or whatever it goes back to the size it wants to be at (like a default size).
    How do we get it to stay the same size for every page?

    You can use an extension to set a default font size and page zoom on web pages.
    *Default FullZoom Level: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/default-fullzoom-level/
    *NoSquint: https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/addon/nosquint/
    Make sure that you do not run Firefox in permanent Private Browsing mode.
    *https://support.mozilla.com/kb/Private+Browsing
    *You enter Private Browsing mode if you select: Tools > Options > Privacy > History: Firefox will: "Never Remember History"
    *To see all History and Cookie settings, choose: Tools > Options > Privacy, choose the setting <b>Firefox will: Use custom settings for history</b>

  • RoboHelp won't reset window size

    Good Afternoon,
    I'm trying to reset the size of the help browser that
    displays. I know that this is done through the Window Properties
    dialog box. I've reset it multiple times, but it just keeps
    displaying in the old size. I even tried to delete the window
    properties and then recreate them. Does anyone have any suggestions
    on how I can get RoboHelp to apply the new size settings?
    Thanks!!!!
    Angela

    Hi Angela
    When you are looking at the Window Properties, what do you
    see for the option labeled "Remember Window Size and Positon"? (You
    find this in the lower left corner of the dialog)
    If this setting is enabled, there are only a few ways to
    force a change.
    1. Before closing the help file, move and size it as you
    desire it to open next time.
    2. Rename the .CHM file name so Windows registers it as a
    different file. For example, MyChm.CHM might change to MyChm1.CHM.
    3. You could search and destroy your hh.dat file. I woudn't
    recommend this as it could impact other .CHM files in your system.
    Cheers... Rick

  • InDesign won't remember window location

    I'm running InDesign CS3 on a Windows XP system with Service Pack 2.
    InDesign and InCopy open maximized, and I want them to open at half-screen so I can work in them side by side. I've saved workspaces, but that doesn't seem to work.

    I'm similarly annoyed by the application's apparent inehrent inability to remember window size / configuration / placement on desktop whensuccessively opening the app.
    In particular, Win 7 (64-bit FWIW in this instance) and using InDesign CS6, v8.0.1
    After creating a shortcut on the desktop, the only options afforded through its Properties, at least as far as I've found, are to Run: Normal Window / Minimized / Maximized. Both Minimized and Maximized work as advertised, but Normal Window isn't behaving like a "normal" window, at least normal in the context of most applications running on Windows.
    Is there anyway to get InDesign to remember these settings?
    Thank you very much.

  • Window size/position

    The new iTunes wont remember window size and position. Every time I open it I have to maximize the window. Why wont the program let the user and not Apple set the window size??

    I have the same problem....hopefully Apple will address it soon.

  • Preview - Remember Window Position

    If I move my finder window, resize it, then close the window Mac OS X remembers this position and next time I open a finder window it opens to that position and size.  How can I do the same with Preview?

    that is really a missing feature and there are still many apps, that do not remember window size/position.
    There are 2 little helpers available (and some others, this I have tested with 10.6), that at least reduce the extra effort to just pressing a keyboard shortcut, to move/resize the frontmost window.
    In your case, it would so be possible to move/resize the Preview window to the right half of the screen.
    --- ShiftIt: the totally free one:
    http://code.google.com/p/shiftit/
    it goes to the menu bar and does not have a dock icon.
    It moves/resize to the 4 quarter screen's, the 4 half screen's and has maximize and center
    --- SizeUp: free with "pay-me-reminder"
    http://irradiatedsoftware.com/sizeup/
    it goes to the menu bar and does not have a dock icon.
    It has some more option and is spaces aware

  • Software to restore apps window size and position after change in screen resolution

    I use a 27' iMac'10 with SL 10.6.8, running it at 2560x1440 screen resolution.
    Whenever I have to attend meetings via GoToMeeting or Webex and need to present, the resolution is too high, since most participants are on 15' laptops or even iPad's these days.  Therefore, I reset the screen resolution to 1600x900 for the time of the presentation.
    After the meeting is over, I reset the resolution back to 2560x1440.
    Problem: After the reset, all my apps are scaled and out of place, so I need to manually reset them to their original sizes and positions.  I use Divvy to make this a bit less painful, but still it's a manual chore.
    Is there any software out there that let's me restore my windows to the exact settings they were the last time before I changed screen resolution?

    I agree, the ability to remember window sizes and positions when switching between laptop and using the Thunderbolt display would be very useful.  It's like your Mac remembering the volume level depending on whether you have headphones plugged in or not.
