Hi,
I need to have word open in reading view mode in 2003. Does anyone knw how
to make this happen. No one seems to know how to do this

If you have "Allow starting in Reading Layout" checked on the General tab of
Tools | Options, it will be automatic when you open an email attachment. But
that is the only way it can be achieved (short of a macro). I don't believe
documents can be saved to open in that view.

Place these macros in normal.dot:

Sub AutoExec()
Application.OnTime _
When:=Now + TimeValue("00:00:02"), Name:="ChangeTheView"
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ChangeTheView
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
ChangeTheView
End Sub

Sub ChangeTheView()
ActiveWindow.View = 7
End Sub
