Change Default View to Normal?
Having problem changing the default view to Normal instead of Print Layout.
I change Normal.dot and save it. Seems to work for first time but when I open an older document the default now changes back to Print Layout. Will not save as the last used mode?? |

Change Default View to Normal?
Any saved document will open in the view in which it was saved. The default
view in Normal.dot (or any other template) affects only *new* documents based on that template. See http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm -- Suzanne S.

You can, however, override the settings in the document with a couple of
macros: (http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm). You can change the zoom from 100% as required. Sub Autonew() With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub Sub AutoOpen() ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName With ActiveWindow.View .Type = wdNormalView .Zoom.Percentage = 100 End With End Sub -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org Suzanne S.

The downside to such macros is that they override the settings in all
documents, which means that documents you receive from others may not be displayed as the sender intended them to be. -- Suzanne S.

Many senders would (I hope) be horrified if they viewed their documents as I
do, with nonprinting characters displayed. g -- Suzanne S.

I think you just shot down your own argument bg

It's irrelevant to my argument; nothing the sender does (short of a macro,
which will be disabled when I open the doc) will affect screen display settings of that nature. -- Suzanne S.

Back to the original question my system does not save the document view
type. Even if I put it in NORMAL and save it. When I close it and open it again it goes right back to Print Layout. Why is this happening?? Any ideas? |

This could be the effect of an add-in.
