Another problem opening Word 2003
When I open the program the view automatically opens in the Print Layout
view. I want it to open in Normal view, but nothing I try works. How can I get it to open automatically in the Normal view? -- Francine |

Thank you Suzanne. I followed your instructions but couldn't figure out what
to do after I found the template (which was blank). -- Francine "Suzanne S. Barnhill" wrote in message ... See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm -- Suzanne S.

The article makes this pretty clear, I think: change the zoom, then press
the Spacebar and Backspace, then Save. These were the last three of the five steps, the first two being to find and open Normal.dot. -- Suzanne S.

Thank you. I did everything you suggested. The thing is, it was already set
to normal view. But still sometimes when I open Word it opens in Print Layout. I am also having problems opening Word itself. Sometimes it opens full screen and sometimes it opens smaller and I have to click on the full screen button at the top right. I'm using Word 2003. -- Francine "Suzanne S.

You can absolutely make Word start Maximized by setting this in the
Properties of the shortcut used to start Word. As for the view and zoom, this is definitely problematic in Word 2003, which seems to have a mind of its own. Most of the time it will start in the view in which you closed it, but the only way to really force it to open in a specific view is with an AutoExec or AutoNew macro. -- Suzanne S.
