thumbnail page view
Ever since I made my last upgrade, a thumbnail view of all the pages appears
to the left of my page in Word whenever I open a file or change the view (from print preview to page view, from page view to normal view). This is driving me CRAZY because I have some really large graphics that take about 25 seconds to redraw in the thumbnails every time I switch! I can turn off the thumbnails temporarily once I'm in a view (and have waited my 25 seconds) but I want them off, off, off, all the time, automatically when I open files and automatically off when I change my view. Please help! |

Have you checked the setting for View=Thumbnails in Word 2003?

To clarify - I need some way to turn off the **default** to open thumbnails.
I have to look at different views of my documents occasionally (and re-open them) and I want the default setting to be thumbnails=off. Right now the thumbnails turn back on every time I change views, even though I can turn them off temporarily using the method suggested below. thanks! U.

Now I have a better idea what you're dealing with.
The Thumbnail View is _not_ document specific, so if you turn it off, it should stay off regardless of what file you open. You should only have to make sure it is off when you Exit from Word and it shouldn't be active when you relaunch. If it isn't working that way, the first remedy I'd try is to have a document open with the Thumbnails off, then go to ToolsCustomize--Toolbars, click on the name Menu Bar, then click the Reset Button & confirm YES to update.

I am having the exact same problem. As of today (8/26/05), every time I
change my view in Word, it turns on the Thumbnail display. While I can turn off the Thumbnail display from the View pull-down menu, I never want Thumbnails to turn on to begin with. Deleting Normal.dot has no effect nor does resetting the toolbars. $*^@*@!(! Microsft! |
