Reading Layout View Problematic as Default Word Attachment View
Our organization has noticed problems with using the Reading Layout View in
Word 2003 as the default view for Word attachments sent via email. Documents containing tables are not formatted as intended by the sender. Consequently, the sender cannot expect a consistent product when discussing attachments that they have sent to a recipient and must spend additional time explaining to the recipient (assuming both parties are computer literate enough to handle this task) how to switch to the print layout view. Perhaps an intermediate dialog would be helpful here when the attachment pops up in Reading Layout View. The dialog might make it easy to toggle the view on or off, or perhaps have the attachment start in print layout view and just make the reading layout view an option in a dialog that pops up when the attachment is opened. Thanks for listening. ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

I have my usual battle. I keep turning it off and it keeps turning
itself on. Any suggestions D Dawn Crosier wrote: Inside the Reading Layout view, on the Reading Layout toolbar, there is a button called "Close" That will allow you to close out of the Reading Layout and open your default Word view. (In my case, Print Layout). You can change the behavior of opening attachments from Outlook. Inside of Word, from the Tools menu, select Options. Select the General tab. Clear the check mark from Allow starting in Reading Layout. Attachments will open to your default view. You can always switch back to the Reading Layout view, by selecting the View menu, and selecting Reading Layout. I hope this helps. -- Dawn Crosier Microsoft MVP "Education Lasts a Lifetime" This message is posted to a newsgroup.

If changes to Tools | Options are not being saved, it could be that you need
to rebuild the Word Data key in the Windows Registry (see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissngMenusEtc.htm), but it could equally well be that an add-in is making the change; this is what I finally figured out was the cause of my problems when I had an option that wouldn't stay set. -- Suzanne S.
