Can I change default setting for zoom for Word documents?

I hate that every time I make a new document, the zoom is set to 100%. It's too tiny. I want the default to be "page width." Is it possible to do this?

Thanks!

You could try making an adjustment to the Normal Template, so that it's set to "page width". There's some info on how to edit the Normal template here:
