Document View keeps reverting to Print Layout
No matter what I do, Word 2007 keeps opening in Print Layout and I have to
switch it back to Draft view. I don't see any place in the Word Options to set the view and keep it that way. In earlier versions of Word, I have much more control over the Document view. |

Document View keeps reverting to Print Layout
Anyone have any idea of how to set Word so that it will open by default as
it used to open, to the "Normal" view, now called the Draft view. Looking at a factory fresh version of Word 97, when I open Word, it opens in the Normal view. In Word 2007, if a document is put in the draft view, and changes are made and saved, and the document is closed, when it is opened again it opens in the Print Layout view. Is there some way to change this undesired behavior? "Larry" wrote in message ... No matter what I do, Word 2007 keeps opening in Print Layout and I have to switch it back to Draft view.

AFAIAA, that isn't possible in W2007.

Document View keeps reverting to Print Layout
Going back to Word 97, Normal View *was* the "normal view" - most everything
else was awkward for editing purposes. [Un]Fortuntely, the more graphic views improved Page Layout/Print Layout view has become the "normal view" for the majority of users. I'm convinced that the *real* reason for changing to "Draft View" is simply that Normal isn't Normal anymore - even though there are some who insist that it was simply to avoid confusion of Normal View with Normal.dot - a perceived conflict extant for decades - which hasn't been a serious problem for anyone willing to add the appropriate additional 4 chars (view or .dot) to their communication Regards |:) Bob Jones [MVP] Office:Mac On 3/19/07 4:33 PM, in article , "Larry" wrote: Anyone have any idea of how to set Word so that it will open by default as it used to open, to the "Normal" view, now called the Draft view.

Does that mean that in the VBA code for Word 2007, the following:
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdNormalView will no longer work and would have to be changed to something else, like: ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.Type = wdDraftView Larry "CyberTaz" wrote in message .. .

Document View keeps reverting to Print Layout
A good question to which I do not know the answer - I don't really write
that much VBA. It's possible that the underlying call remains the same & that only the UI labeling has been changed, but I honestly don't know. If yo don't get an answer I'll try to find out.

Hi Larry,
You can use the Immediate pane in the VBA editor (Alt+F11) in Word 2007 to test. In your specific instance wdNormalView is still the matching code. ============== "Larry" wrote in message ...
