Not a question, but more like a comment, or request.

The 2003 version of Word automatically opens documents in the "Reading
Layout", which is really annoying. I prefer viewing documents in a "Print
Layout", but I am not able to change the default.

The default view mode for Word 2003 is Print Layout, except for docs received
via email. Have you tried ToolsOptionsGeneral, remove the check for 'Allow
starting in Reading Layout'?
