If the document is saved in Outline view, it will open in that view.
But for Word to display only specific heading levels, a macro is
needed. A simple version would be something like this (stored in
normal.dot):
Sub AutoOpen()
If ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdOutlineView _
Or ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdMasterView Then
ActiveWindow.View.ShowHeading 3 'Specify the desired level
End If
End Sub
See
http://gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for assistance.
For a more advanced solution, try asking in a programming newsgroup.

I have a document that I prefer to view in the Outline view. WHen I
save the
document, I save and close it with just the main headers showing.
When I
reopen the document, the entire document is open, not just the
headers
showing. I have looked for some way to control this to no avail. I
want to
open it just the way I closed it. How to?
Thanks
