Hi Berenice,

You can turn off the reading layout view on startup
in Tools=Options in Word. The other views in Word
(except for the 'thumbnails' view are basically the
same in Word 2000 and 2003.

This is totally screwing up the updating of my textbook for Office 2003......

I need a full page view where I can see my graphics, edit and format
them......

The Reading Layout is too small [doesn't allow you to fill the screen with
one page] and I don't have access to all the formatting as with Office
2000....

Uggggh!! New is not always better.

Is there a solution????
