Default Preview Layout being annoying

When I open documents for the first time in word, it automatically opens them
in some sort of preview mode, with all the text too big and on two pages,
which i have to close before I can see the document as it should appear.

Can anyone tell me how to stop it from doing this, as I never use this layout?

Thanks!

This sounds like Reading Layout or Full Screen Reading view. It affects only
documents opened from email attachments. You can avoid it by disabling it
(Tools | Options | General in Word 2003 or Office Button | Word Options |
Popular in Word 2007) or by saving the attachment to the HD before opening
it.
