Default Reading or Print Layout???

A matter of taste? See the following (from Word Help):

*************
About reading layout view

If you are opening a document primarily to read it, reading layout view
optimizes the reading experience. Reading layout view hides all toolbars
except for the Reading Layout and Reviewing toolbars (toolbar: A bar with
buttons and options that you use to carry out commands. To display a toolbar,
press ALT and then SHIFT+F10.).

Note When you open a Microsoft Word document that you have received as an
e-mail attachment, Word automatically switches to reading layout view. If you
don't want to use reading layout view for e-mail attachments, clear the Allow
starting in Reading Layout check box on the General tab of the Options dialog
box (Tools menu).

You switch to reading layout view by clicking the Read button on the
Standard toolbar or by pressing ALT+R in any view in Word.

Because the goal of reading layout view is to increase legibility, the text
is automatically displayed using Microsoft ClearType technology. You can
easily increase or decrease the size in which text is shown without affecting
the size of the font in the document.

Pages represented in reading layout view are designed to fit well on your
screen; they do not represent the pages you would see if you were to print
the document. If you want to view the document as it would appear on the
printed page, without switching to print layout view (print layout view: A
view of a document or other object as it will appear when you print it. For
example, items such as headers, footnotes, columns, and text boxes appear in
their actual positions.), click Actual Page on the Reading Layout toolbar.

When you want to stop reading the document, you can switch from reading
layout view by clicking the Close button on the Reading Layout toolbar or by
pressing ESC or ALT+C.

If you want to modify the document, simply edit text as you read, without
switching out of reading layout view. The Reviewing toolbar is automatically
displayed in reading layout view, so you can easily use change tracking and
comments to mark up a document.

Note Text that is not in paragraphs on the page (such as WordArt or text
that's in graphics or tables) is not resized for display in reading layout
view. If your document has a complex layout €” with columns or tables €” or if
it includes wide graphics, the document may be easier to read in print layout
view than in reading layout view.
