How to I set my computers not to delafult to open Word documents in the
reading pane view? It distorts the page setup and I waste time chaging the
docs each time I open them to display as they will print.

I am using Word from Office 2003 Pro in both Win XP and Win 2000 computers

Tools Options General uncheck "Allow starting in Reading
Layout".

Even when that option is checked, Reading Layout is *not* a default
view. However, Word documents opened as Outlook attachments open that
way, and individual documents may be made to open in that or any other
view -- see http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm.

You don't have to do that; just clear the check box for "Allow starting in
Reading Layout" on the General tab of Tools | Options.
