By default, Word opens a document in the view and zoom it was saved (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm). Note,
however, that Word 2007 won't open in Draft view unless you choose the
option to "Allow opening a document in Draft view" in Office button | Word
Options, Advanced category.
Alternatively, if you want to force Draft view in all documents that you
open or create, use the following auto macros in normal.dotm:
Sub AutoOpen()
Options.AllowOpenInDraftView = True
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100 'change zoom if desired
End Sub
Sub AutoNew()
Options.AllowOpenInDraftView = True
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100 'change zoom if desired
End Sub

By default, Word (2007, but also earlier versions) opens all my documents
in
Print Layout view. How can I change this to auto open documents in Web
Layout
or Draft view?
