Forcing Word to start in Print view rather than reader
My version of Word (Office 2003) opens in the reader View. I want it to
start in Print view. How can I set this as default? Thanks Terry |

Start by disable "Allow starting in Reading Layout" on the General tab of
Tools | Options. Then see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm, but note that compliance is spotty in Word 2002/2003. -- Suzanne S.

G'Day Terry,
I know of no way to set any default, however Word usually 'remembers' the view in which it was last closed. Open Word and switch to the View of your choice. Close Word and re-start it - it should open to your chosen view. IF you are opening Word Documents received as e-mail attachments, and they are coming up in Reading Layout, then: ToolsOptions General (tab) Allow starting in Reading Layout (UNCHECK the box) to stop this from happening. -- Regards, Pat Garard Melbourne, Australia _______________________ "Terry Irwin" terry Irwin wrote in message ...

Start by disallowing opening in Reading Layout. This option is on the
general tab of the options dialog. I have code in an AutoExec that sets my normal view and then switches me into PageLayout view. It may be overkill. Sub AutoNew() ' ' AutoNew Macro ' Macro written 12/13/01 by Charles Kyle Kenyon ' Switches to normal view, sets style panel, switches to print view ' On Error GoTo NoOpenDoc If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView Else ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView End If ActiveWindow.StyleAreaWidth = InchesToPoints(1.25) ' ' Set to print view ' If ActiveWindow.View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPrintView Else ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView End If Exit Sub 'skip error handler ' NoOpenDoc: ' No open document error handler Documents.Add ' Add blank document based on normal.dot Resume End Sub Sub AutoExec() AutoNew End Sub Like I said, this may be overkill. -- Charles Kenyon Word New User FAQ & Web Directory: http://addbalance.com/word Intermediate User's Guide to Microsoft Word (supplemented version of Microsoft's Legal Users' Guide) http://addbalance.com/usersguide See also the MVP FAQ: http://www.mvps.org/word which is awesome! --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- --------- This message is posted to a newsgroup.
