Another problem opening Word 2003
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? -- Francine |

Thank you Suzanne. I followed your instructions but couldn't figure out what
to do after I found the template (which was blank). -- Francine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Francine "Suzanne S.

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. -- Suzanne S.

The macros required to force the preferred view will be:
Sub AutoNew() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub If you prefer a different level of zoom from 100% change the number in both See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

Thanks for the link. I have never done anything with macros before.

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.

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. -- Francine "Francine" wrote in message ... Thank you Suzanne.

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.) -- Suzanne S.

I'm afraid I have no explanation, then, unless you have an add-in loading at

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? -- Francine "Suzanne S.

I can assure you that reinstalling Word would not change anything. But you
might try asking in microsoft.public.word.setup.networking. I really do find this bizarre. -- Suzanne S.

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). -- Suzanne S.

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. -- Francine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... 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. -- Suzanne S.

"Francine" wrote in message ... 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 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. -- Francine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... The article makes this pretty clear, I think: change the zoom, then press the Spacebar and Backspace, then Save.

Suzanne-
I just posted in another newsgroup and one "solution" is to press down the shift key when closing Word and that usually keeps the memory of the program opening as it was when it was closed. I don't know. I'll give it a try. I think it only needs to be done once. I'll let you know if it works. -- Francine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ...
