You can use a couple of auto macros in your Normal template (or add the code
to these macros if they already exist):
Sub AutoOpen()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub
Sub AutoNew()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub
For assistance, see

I really dislike the Reading Layout view. Every time I open an email

in Tools Options General clear the check box for Allow starting in
Reading Layout. Is there a registry setting that will permanently do this? I
am using Word 2003. Thanks for anyone's help here.
