Default A single-page document I am emailing opens in "read" mode.

I am trying to email a graphics-rich single page Word document as an
attachment to an email. (I copied and pasted a Publisher document into
Word.) When the recipient tries to open it, the document opens in Word as a
two-page document and Word goes into "read" mode and folds the document over
onto itself. I never realized that Word had a "read" mode until this....
Does anyone know what I can do to keep this from happening

There really isn't much that *you* can do about it -- it's a setting the
recipient has to change in her copy of Word. Tell her to go to Tools
Options General and uncheck the option "Allow starting in Reading Layout".

Reading Layout view is new in Word 2003
(http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/as...941033.aspx#ux), so
any recipients with earlier versions don't have to worry about it.
