Turning off Reading layout view when opening from Outlook
Hi, I'm running Outlook 2003, Word 2003 and in Word I've gone into tools,
options, general tab and unchecked the "Allow Starting in Reading Layout". All fine and good, HOWEVER... If I double-click on a Word document attached to an Outlook E-mail, it starts in Reading Layout view. VERY Annoying! Any ideas? Haven't been able to find anything in Outlook to uncheck yet. Thanks and Happy Halloween! Deb -- "No matter how the dice may fall, someone else always gets to call the number..." B. Gibb |

Turning off Reading layout view when opening from Outlook
You should never double click documents attached to Word because of security
considerations and the probability that you will lose any edits you make in such a document. Always save to the hard drive and open from there. If Word is changing the reading layout setting against your wishes (some options do that in Word 2003 - usually because of an insignificant corruption in the Word Data settings key in the registry) you should be able to force your will by adding the following line to an autoopen macro - http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Options.AllowReadingMode = False -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Debbie wrote: Hi, I'm running Outlook 2003, Word 2003 and in Word I've gone into tools, options, general tab and unchecked the "Allow Starting in Reading Layout".
