Default outline view

It's the headings (in Outline view) that he wants to see, not headers.

I'm afraid there's no out-of-the-box method to do what you ask for. IOW,
the H&F view is one of the few you cannot preserve like that.

You can of course create an AutoOpen-Macro which simply switches to that
view. But before going that route, tell us why you want the document to
open in the header first (maybe there's a good alternative to what you
are asking that does not need any code-based automation at all).
