Default Default view?

Every Word file is opening up in Print layout. Is there any way of having
the default opening layout to be Web layout? Who prints these days
anyway? Maybe 1 in 100 documents on a typical computer ever gets printed!
It seems ridiculous to have Print as the default layout.
Using XP Pro SP3 with Office 2007 but have chosen to save documents in the
Word 2003 file type so Wordpad can access them in case I need to work with
them on a public computer that may not have Word 2007 installed.

Surely it must be possible to have Web Layout as the default View
setting. I have hundreds of these files. I can modify the page of
course, save the changes with the new view setting and it retains it
(thank goodness). But I, along with millions of other people around the
world would like Word to "behave better".
