Change Word default (opening attachments from Outlook) from reading layout to print layout?
At work we just upgraded to Office2003. When I create new documents in Word,
they come up in "print layout", which is my desired working view. When I open Word attachments from Outlook, they often come up in "reading layout" (2 page, side-by-side) which in most cases messes up the tables and other info, actually making it harder to read. Is there a setting somewhere that I haven't found yet that will automatically make all documents open in print layout?

Hi Keith
annoying isn't it tools /options / general - untick "allow starting in reading layout" (top right of screen) Cheers JulieD "KR" wrote in message ... At work we just upgraded to Office2003.

There's no setting that will make documents open in Print Layout view (they
will, by default, open in the view in which they were saved), though you can accomplish this with a macro. To keep them from opening in Reading Layout view, however, clear the check box on the General tab of Tools | Options. -- Suzanne S.

Tools options general uncheck allow starting in reading layout.
Documents should open in the view in which they were saved. To override this requires an autoopen macro Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdPrintView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 .ShowFieldCodes = False .DisplayPageBoundaries = True End With End Sub see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org KR wrote: At work we just upgraded to Office2003.

Tools, Options, General tab and clear the option 'Allow Starting in Reading
