Setting default view for WORD
I always want Print Layout to be my default view. The help files state that:
You can't set a default for all documents that you view in Word, because the view setting is stored with each individual document as a document property. You can save your document in the view with which you want it to open. Documents that you receive from others will open with the view in which they were previously saved. I don't like this feature. I think you should offer a option to make whatever view the uses wants be the default.

A pair of auto macros will force your preference. The following also include
corrections for a couple of other minor irritations. You can remove the extra lines if preferred - the only bits required for the job in hand are as follows. Set the zoom to your preference - here 100% With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org CT wrote: I always want Print Layout to be my default view.
