I always have to change the view from outline back to Normal and have to
uncheck the "ruler". Why does this not stay the way I want the view to be?
Everytime I go into Word, it has changed back again? I don't know,
obviously, how to change the view permanently?

No guarantees, but see
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. If this doesn't work
for you (and in Word 2002 or 2003, it may well not), you'll have to have an
AutoExec macro, which Graham will be along presently to provide.
