When I open up my Word 2003, by default, it opens up a new document in the
"print layout view". However, it cuts off the header and footer areas
from
being displayed. I can correct the problem by selecting from the "view"
pull
down menu, the "Header and Footer", which corrects this, but then I have
to
close the toolbar. This is annoying because I have to do this everytime I
open a new word document. HELP!
