I want all my documents to always open in Draft page view
No matter what it's saved as, all Word 2007 files when opened revert to Print
layout, not the Draft (formerly called Normal) layout of Word 2000. Have looked on the web but the explanations of how to change this are too complex to follow. Surely there must be some easy setting to turn on or off for this to happen as a default? (Have also checked Help and online Help.) |

I want all my documents to always open in Draft page view
The first step is to select "Allow opening a document in Draft view"; you'll
find this option in Office button | Word Options, Advanced category (look under the "General" heading). Now, the view should be correctly saved with the document. To change the view saved with a document or template, see the instructions at http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. However, if you want to force Draft view on any document opened in Word, you will have to use macros: Sub AutoOpen() ChangeViews End Sub Sub AutoNew() ChangeViews End Sub Sub ChangeViews() With ActiveWindow.View ..Type = 1 'Draft view ..Zoom.Percentage = 100 'Zoom level End With End Sub Store the macros in normal.dotm (or perhaps in an add-in). If you need assistance, see http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP "jap" wrote in message ...
