Sigh. No add in.
What would happen if I reinstall Word over my current program? Would it
change any of my other settings? Or, do you think this is more of a Windows
XP thing?

I'm afraid I have no explanation, then, unless you have an add-in loading
at
startup that is changing the window size (and that would be a very long
shot).

Yes. I use the shortcut in my quick launch toolbar every time I open the
program.

I'm afraid I can't come up with any explanation for this. Are you sure
you're using the same shortcut every time? (And note that this will
take
effect only if you start Word from the shortcut, not if you
double-click
on
a document to open Word.)

Well, even now the shortcut doesn't even open the program maximized.
Any
other suggestions? It's checked to run maximized but won't open
maximized
every time.

Thank you Suzanne. Today it's been opening maximized every time,
until
just now! I just set the shortcut to open maximized so I hope
things
will
be ok now. Also, so far it's been opening in normal view. If I have
problems again, I'll be sure to check back in here.
Thanks again.

You can absolutely make Word start Maximized by setting this in the
Properties of the shortcut used to start Word. As for the view and
zoom,
this is definitely problematic in Word 2003, which seems to have a
mind
of
its own. Most of the time it will start in the view in which you
closed
it,
but the only way to really force it to open in a specific view is
with
an
AutoExec or AutoNew macro.

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?
