Google Site Crawler - Viewport Not Set

I have encountered 2 issues which I'm not sure how to find and fix. Google has notified me that I have a page with the Viewport Not Set. AND, another page (or maybe the same one) with Content Wider than Screen.. They do NOT tell me which page(s) is impacted. With a large number of individual pages, is there some way to search and pinpoint which pages have these issues? Thanks much.

Regarding Content Wider than Screen.. , have you used the page error tool? On the toolbar, PAGE>Error Reports. You have to use it on each page, but it identifies errors and gives the Object ID and the error so you can find it in the Object Manager.

I've been working with the Page Error tool and will continue through the 60 or so pages of my site, unless someone can come up with an alternative. Thus far, I find nothing that gives me any error information on the "viewport not set". I have, however, found at least one, "content wider than screen" and fixed the issue. It was a hidden layer I had set out of the viewing area. Amazing Google picked that up.
Thanks for the input.

WBv17 (and probably earlier versions) has a MetaTag default setting to include the viewport settings. Have you investigated that setting?

For the page(s) in question that show that the viewport has not been set please ensure that doctype HTML5 has been selected in Page Properties as it is a requirement for all modern browsers.

Paddlefoot - Don't have Google Docs, not sure what you'd like me to see. I am aware of the MetaTag settings and will go through each page, one at a time to ensure it is, in fact, set. I was hoping for a "sitewide" search option of some sort.
BaconFries - I will need to go through each, individual, page to determine I somehow neglected the doctype as HTML5. Again, Google does not specify which page has the issue.
Thanks to all, I'll keep searching...I know it's there and with my luck, it will be in the last place I look!
