Hi, CT. Unfortunately, it won't work when you first open Word.

I always want Print Layout to be my default view. The help files state
that:

You can't set a default for all documents that you view in Word,
because
the
view setting is stored with each individual document as a document
property.
You can save your document in the view with which you want it to open.
Documents that you receive from others will open with the view in
which
they
were previously saved.

I don't like this feature. I think you should offer a option to make
whatever view
the uses wants be the default.

Thanks
