AFAIK, the way in which a document is opened is something over which only
the recipient has control via ToolsOptionsGeneral by checking or
unchecking the "Allow starting in reading layout view" box. I do not
believe that the originator/sender of the document has any control over it.

Our company sends out word docs for quotes that are attachments being sent
by outlook.
When they are opened, they open in Reading Layout view, which looks very
bad.
You can go up to ViewPrint Layout, which is how we'd like them to
display.
Is there any way to make this a default view when saving the Word doc?
