Default Default Window View

I am using several documents in 2007. I want the window view (size, shape,
etc) to stay the way I set it within each document, different between
documents. Instead, whichever document I open first, all others open with
those specifications.

Is there a way of saving, within a single document the window shapes?

You'd need to do this using macro code. You could have a macro named AutoOpen
in the document that will set the window's properties.

Somewhat more "elegant" would be a pair of macros in your Normal.dot -
AutoOpen and AutoClose - that would write the relevant information into the
document (into document Variables) when it closes, then read this
information and apply it when the document is next opened.

I tried the first suggestion, and it works if I only open one document. But,
there are two documents I use frequently that, for convenience, should have
different window formating (window size, placement of the clipboard, etc.).
I set them both up with a start up macro that seemed to work. But, as I soon
as I closed them both, then opened them both, the second one is formatted the
same way the first one was, regardless of the macro I created that was
supposed to be unique for that document.
