Thank you. I did everything you suggested. The thing is, it was already set
to normal view. But still sometimes when I open Word it opens in Print
Layout.

I am also having problems opening Word itself. Sometimes it opens full
screen and sometimes it opens smaller and I have to click on the full screen
button at the top right. I'm using Word 2003.

The article makes this pretty clear, I think: change the zoom, then press
the Spacebar and Backspace, then Save. These were the last three of the
five
steps, the first two being to find and open Normal.dot.

Thank you Suzanne. I followed your instructions but couldn't figure out
what
to do after I found the template (which was blank).

When I open the program the view automatically opens in the Print
Layout
view. I want it to open in Normal view, but nothing I try works. How
can
I
get it to open automatically in the Normal view?
