Reading Layout View in Word 2003
All,
I understand that by modifying the NORMAL.DOT template, I can change layout and zoom settings to reflect my preferences for all new documents I may create. In fact, my NORMAL.DOT is set up to display in Normal View at 100% zoom. Despite this, I'm finding that when others send me word documents that have previously existed, and were most likely generated with an earlier version of Word, the view I get upon opening those docs is the annoying Reading Layout View. I've also found that if I'm using Microsoft Access 2003 and export a report into Word format, it comes up in that same Reading Layout view. Making modifications to the NORMAL.DOT file does not seem to change this behavior. Can anyone tell me what I may be able to do to keep these kinds of documents from displaying in this Reading Layout view? Thanks in advance. |

Reading Layout View in Word 2003
Thanks Suzanne. I must have been snoozing to miss that in Options...I
had looked there but it just didn't jump out at me. Thanks so much for your time. Suzanne S.

Reading Layout View in Word 2003
Well, it's a new wrinkle in Word 2003, and it's an odd place for the option
(you'd think it might be on the View tab). -- Suzanne S.
