You can change the view and zoom settings for a template (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm) which affects
new documents based on that template. But for existing documents you
must make the change for each individual document.

I have several documents that when I open, I constantly have to
change the
view form normal to print layout. How can I change this so that all
my
documents open in print layout. A blank word template opens in
print layout
but not once I save it.
