We are running Office 2000. From what I can tell there is no option to
"allow starting in reading layout" that we can uncheck.

Recently a user is having documents start in the view setting. Would like
to force all current and future doc's to open in normal view.

Any ideas???

See http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/Genera...iewAndZoom.htm, which
does apply to Word 2000.

If you also want to force existing documents to open in normal view
regardless of how they were last saved, you need a macro in the
Normal.dot template (see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm):

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View = wdNormalView
End Sub
