All of a sudden, all my Word documents open in outline view, regardless of
how they are saved. Normally I use print layout view.

At about the same time, I developed a problem in Document Map. I should be
able to get a pull-down menu with a right mouse click or with Shift-F10. The
mouse click no longer works, but Shift-F10 is still OK. Any thoughts? Did I
reset some key option without knowing it? Thanks in advance. Ted

I should have mentioned this is Word 2003

Both issues are resolved.
Documents no longer open in outline view. Bad behavior stopped for unknown
reason.
Document map issue resolved when I learned right click drop down menu
requires cursor to be in blank area of document map, and not on top of a
listed heading

reason.

Note that Word saves the view with a document. The view in which new, blank
documents open depends on the settings of normal.dot (normal.dotm if you are
using Word 2007). See http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm.

But AFAIK, it's not possible to save a document in outline view, which is
what makes this so odd.

I can certainly save a document in Outline view and have it open in that
view again.

In Word 2007, perhaps the "Allow opening a document in Draft view" option
makes a difference (though I realize it shouldn't, just because it refers to
Draft view, not Outline view)?

I'm probably mistaken, then (haven't actually tried it). For some reason I
thought it was "received knowledge" that you couldn't save in Outline view.
