I have several documents that when I open, I constantly have to change the
view form normal to print layout. How can I change this so that all my
documents open in print layout. A blank word template opens in print layout
but not once I save it.

You can change the view and zoom settings for a template (see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm) which affects
new documents based on that template. But for existing documents you
must make the change for each individual document.

Yes - that's what I thought. Pity that Bill Gates doesn't think of these
things ...!!!

You can force the view with a macro; Graham will be along soon to provide
it.

The following macros in normal.dot should work:

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = 3
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = 3
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

In the above code, you can choose another percentage than 100.

If you need help installing the macros, please see:
