Default Word stuck in draft view

When opening up word documents on our local intranet, the page displays like
it is in draft view, even though it is set to print layout view. When opened
on a different machine with the same version of Word, it looks fine. Has
anybody seen this before?

Default Word stuck in draft view

Are you sure that the document isn't actually in Draft view?

Note that in Word 2007, documents only open in Draft view if "Allow opening
a document in Draft view" is selected (Word Options dialog box, Advanced
category). Try clearing that option on the machine where things don't work
as expected.

Yes, i'm sure. That option is already cleared. On the machine that works, I
switched it to draft view and it then looks like the document does on the
other machine, even though print layout is selected.

This is strange. Have you tried repairing the Word installation?

I got a couple errors about a bootstrap loader when doing the repair
initially, but I finally got the repair to run through. That fixed it. One of
the weirder things I've seen. Thanks for you help Stefan.
