Word 2007 Ruler & Misc
How can I set the ruler to always display, not open docs in reading view and
set the edit so highlighting does not select the entire word? I have modified the normal template and also created separate templates but those three options will not set. I have tried everything. It is very frustrating to have to keep changing the settings every time I open a new document. Thank you. |

Go to Word options and under the Advanced tab, Editing options, clear the
option 'When selecting, automatically select entire word'. Alternatively, if you want to use this most of the time (which most users do), you can override the option by pressing the ALT key when making a selection. Word remembers the view in which a document was last saved and closed. But it sounds as though you have already found those settings (and the option to display the ruler) but they are not being saved? Are other default options being saved such as the default font changes or page size changes or is it just those three options? -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "vicki" wrote in message ...

Word 2007 Ruler & Misc
Hi, Terry. Yes, it is just those three options. The margins, font, font
color, etc. all saved fined and are displayed when Word is opened. Even with Outlook, when I open Word attachments I click don't open in this view again but they continue to open in reading view. BTW-I am using the full Office Pro suite. Thank you.

Very weird. Please try the following test. Start Word in Safe Mode, open a
document and see if it still opens in the wrong view. From Start | Run, type in winword /a and press enter. Use File | Open, select and open a document. Does it still open in Reading Layout View?
