Buttons for Outline/Normal/WebLayout/Print/Reading Views?
I am using Word 2003 on Windows XP. I opened a Word attachment to my
email...the buttons for the different views are not visible! I opened another Word document attachment (without closing the first one) and the buttons *are* visible. Furthermore, the toolbars that are activated are the same for the two documents. What checkbox/option do I change to get the View buttons visible in the first document? |

Sounds like the document may be opening in Reading Layout view? You can
press ESC to exit that view. Also, you may want to clear the "Allow starting in Reading Layout" on the General tab of Tools | Options. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...

Close...it was Read-Only. When I saved a copy and unchecked Read-
Only, things went back to normal. Thanks... On Apr 16, 1:17*pm, "Stefan Blom" wrote: Sounds like the document may be opening in Reading Layout view? You can press ESC to exit that view.

Hmm, that wasn't what I would except. In other words, I don't think I was
very close... :-) Actually, you should be able to modify a read-only document, although you'd have to Save As in order to preserve the changes of course. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...

I agree with your expectations....I suppose another possible cause was
that it was opened from an email attachment when it was read-only. When I changed it from read-only, I had saved it to disk.

Saving an e-mail attachment to the hard drive before editing it is the
recommended approach (as you may already know). -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "Paul" wrote in message ...
