How can I set Page View as my default viewing mode for all documents I open
with MS Word 2003?

Thanks!

My experience has been that however another user has saved and closed the
file is how the file will open for me. You could, presumably, write a macro
that forced all docs to switch to a particular view upon opening.

If you want to over-ride the settings in all documents, you need a pair of
macros in normal.dot - the second contains an extra line (optional) to put
the full document path in the title bar -

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub
