Can't get out of Draft Mode in Word 2007
Windows Vista Home
Word 2007 My wife has been complaining about her documents automatically and without warning going into Draft Mode. She then can't figure out a way to get back to Normal view. The program just won't go back to normal once this happens and believe me, she has done all the obvious things. |

Can't get out of Draft Mode in Word 2007
Normally, the view is saved with the document; see
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. However, to force a certain view in all documents that you open in Word, you will have to make use of auto macros. For example: Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'print layout ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 End Sub Sub AutoNew() ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'print layout ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.Percentage = 100 End Sub If you need assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "BrigSop" wrote in message ...

"Draft" is the W2007 name for "normal". It looks and acts the same as
normal view in previous versions. MS called this view "normal" to encourage people to use it, because Word used fewer computer resources when it didn't have to display images and repaginate on the fly. My guess is that MS changed the name to something more neutral (draft) because they no longer have to discourage people from using page/print layout view. Newer computers and software handle those things speedily.

Also, "Normal" could be confusing, since Word has a paragraph style and a
template both of which are called Normal. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Pamelia Caswell via OfficeKB.com" u43222@uwe wrote in message news:a28ffff1a7abb@uwe...

Tell me about it. But if that was the reason for changing it now, I'd have
to give them triple bad marks for not thinking of that 15 or 20 years ago. But don't get me started...
