Default 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??

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

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

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.

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

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.

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?
