If you want to be able to save the zoom ratio and view with each document, you can make use of the SaveViewLocMulti add-in by Jay Freedman. See https://jay-freedman.info/.

Matt,
Under the VIEW tab, there are options to select "One Page" or "Multiple Pages". If you click the One Page icon, MS Word stops the multi-page presentation mode. I read that choosing the "Vertical" will scroll top/bottom, versus left/right.

That doesn't work. As soon as you close Word, it opens in multi-page view the next time you open it.

I have the same question, and I agree that some previous answers don't really address it. I want to stop Word from going into multiple-page view in the first place. If it does, I then have to switch back not only to my preferred single view, but also to set the magnification again. I just want to be allowed to keep my view when, for whatever reason, the window size changes.

At the moment, using Jay Freedman's add-in is the only way to save the view and zoom with individual documents.
The built-in support was removed from Word about a decade ago.
