Default to open Word files in draft view.
With Office 2007, I am trying to set Word
so that it opens my files in draft view rather than in print layout. Is it possible to set the view in which files are opened? |

Documents should open in the view in which they were last saved (http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm, but note that Word 2007 uses Normal.dotm instead of Normal.dot). If you want to force all documents to draft view regardless of how they were saved or where they came from, add this macro to your Normal.dotm template (http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm): Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView End Sub -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit. |

Even for documents saved in Draft view, you have to enable opening docs in
Draft view, which is in the Word Options somewhere. -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...

And just to clarify, it's only in Word 2007 that that setting exists or is
needed (previous versions have no problem opening in Normal view). -- Suzanne S. Barnhill Microsoft MVP (Word) Words into Type Fairhope, Alabama USA "djprius" wrote in message ... Suzanne S.

And, of course, a similar macro could be added to force newly created
documents to display in Draft view: Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView End Sub -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Jay Freedman" wrote in message ...
