Can't change document view on opening
Hi:
Using Word 2003, I can't change the default opening view from Normal to Print Layout on most documents. Standard behavior is to change the view on the doc (Normal -- Print Layout or vice versa) then save the doc. When you reopen the doc, it will be in the last-saved view mode. That works for me with a test doc I just created. So I know the basic functionality is OK. There is no Allow starting in Reading Layout problem here (which in any case is unchecked). In addition, normal.dot is set to open by default on a new file in Print Layout mode. So far, so good. But in existing documents that open in Normal mode, this change mode - save - reopen operation doesn't work. The documents continue to reopen in Normal mode, in spite of my changing to Print Layout and saving them. (Can't change to Web Layout either). Any help with this would be appreciated. -- Roy Zider |

Can't change document view on opening
Hi Roy,
to get the view as it was, when the document was saved, you have to make sure, that the doc was changed when being saved. An additional space before a paragraph mark is sufficient. Even removing that space again is enough to make a doc changed. -- Greetings from Bavaria, Germany Helmut Weber, MVP WordVBA Vista Small Business, Office XP |
