I saw some posings on it as to go to Word options, advanced, general and
choose allow opening a document in draft view. It worked for me one time, but
not this time. The new documents keep opening in the small print layout
(can't even see what is in there, the size is so small), and I have to keep
putting documents in Draft view file manually.

Change the zoom setting -
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm
or
You can control the zoom and the view with auto macros in normal.dot. The
following will set it to 100% zoom and normal/draft view regardless of what
the document thinks it should be. Change the 100 to any preferred zoom
level.the other.

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub AutoNew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdNormalView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub

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