Thank you all for the response. I wasn't tying Normal View to Normal.dot but
stating two things I'm seeing. 1. I can't seem to stay in Normal view very
long but rather jump into print view without my request and 2. I don't seem
to have a Normal.dot file whether hidden or not. What is the complete path
to Normal.dot?

Thanks

It seems like I automatically pop into print view the majority of time.
Perhaps it sounds crazy but I cannot locate a "Normal.dot" file.

The type of material does make a lot of difference, but for probably 95% of
what I do, I use Normal view 95% of the time.

I appreciate your opinion, but I NEVER use Word to just type letters/memo,
therefore, WYSIWYG is important!

THANKS!

No, Bill, don't encourage people to use Page Layout View. That's why
they
get so confused about shuffling pages, spellchecking footnotes, etc.
Normal
View is so much more reflective of how Word operates, it's really a big
step
toward knowing what's going on with your document.

Anyhow, if you are just typing, you don't need to see the margins.

Another great reason to always use Print Layout (Page Layout in older
versions) view instead of Normal View.
