Yes. This is annoying. It is called Reading Layout.
Tools Options General (tab)
Uncheck "Allow opening in reading layout." This is checked by default upon
installation.

I don't know who requested this layout or why, but they must have had some
clout with Microsoft.

Whenever I open a Word attachment from Outlook 2003 to Word 2003, it opens
the document in Multiple Page mode. I would like to have the document open
in
Normal mode. What is the setting option to change? Does it need to be
changed
in Outlook, Word, the MIME File Type, or elsewhere?
