Make normal view the default?
Sometimes when I open Word 2000, it's in Web Layout view. I'd like it
to always open in Normal view, but I don't see anything in Tools Options that would accomplish this. ??? Thanks! |

If it happens consistently, then there may be a problem with normal.dot, but
it is more likely some third party influencing this. However, I wasn't quite accurate in what I said. I meant to have said that the view is remembered as you close a document and it should open in the same view it was closed in. If this is the normal (blank) document that is opening in web view, then you need to switch it to print Layout (or normal) view, but you also need to make the document 'dirty' so that Word will save the changes to normal.dot. Just change the view and then add a character and delete it. Then close Word.

If you want to open all documents in normal view regardless of what they
were saved in, then the auto macros become necessary. Change the zoom setting if required. Sub AutoNew() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.
