Default Default to open Word files in draft view.

With Office 2007, I am trying to set Word
so that it opens my files in draft view rather
than in print layout. Is it possible to set the
view in which files are opened?


Documents should open in the view in which they were last saved
(http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm, but note that
Word 2007 uses Normal.dotm instead of Normal.dot).

If you want to force all documents to draft view regardless of how they were
saved or where they came from, add this macro to your Normal.dotm template
(http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm):

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView
End Sub
