Word Doc and outlook 2003 changes automagicly to Reading Layout
Create a doc with word add in Header and footers then save this doc. Open
your doc and all is well in Print layout. Using outlook 2003 create a message to yourself and attach your 2003 word doc and send. After you receive the email open the document while in outlook and it opens in Reading layout. This is screwed up. If I wanted people to view my document in reading layout I would have saved it that way. I called MS and for 49.00 they'll connect me with a tech. is this a bug or feature? Or Is there a setting somewhere in either outlook or word that I need to change? ---------------- This post is a suggestion for Microsoft, and Microsoft responds to the suggestions with the most votes.

Word Doc and outlook 2003 changes automagicly to Reading Layout
I can see that your post is created as a suggestion for Microsoft and not as
a question. However, since you ask a qustion, my guess is that you want an answer, so here it is: Yes, there is a setting. The problem is the "Allow starting in Reading Layout" setting in Tools Options General tab. This setting is turned on by default in Word 2003 and it causes attachments to automatically open in Reading Layout. It is the individual users setting of that option that determines how attachments open. You cannot control it from your document. Note that once a user has turned off the €śAllow starting in Reading layout€ť option, documents in attachments will open as any other document as they did in older versions of Word. -- Regards Lene Fredborg DocTools - Denmark www.thedoctools.com Document automation - add-ins, macros and templates for Microsoft Word "HP_Mark" wrote: Create a doc with word add in Header and footers then save this doc.

Word Doc and outlook 2003 changes automagicly to Reading Layou
Gret information, I knew there must be an option for my own system but I
would think that when you save a doc that you intend to send to someone else this document should be able to open as the creator intends.

Word Doc and outlook 2003 changes automagicly to Reading Layou
Unfortunately, Reading Layout is a system setting rather than a document
setting. There are two possible solutions: 1. Persuade the recipient to disable Reading Layout view (Tools | Options | General). The recipient may thank you for this, as many users don't like Reading Layout view but don't know how to disable it. 2. Persuade the recipient to copy the document to the HD before opening it in Word instead of opening it directly from the attachment (Reading Layout view applies only to documents opened directly from attachments). -- Suzanne S.
