Hi,
I placed some controls to my Word 2003 document. I switched design mode off
and saved the document. Whenever I open the document I start in design mode.
How can I specify, that I want to open the document in Normal (not in Design)
mode?

From Word 2003 Help:
The Normal template (Normal template: A global template
that you can use for any type of document. You can modify
this template to change the default document formatting or
content.) opens whenever you start Word, and it includes
default styles, AutoText, macros, toolbars, and other
customizations that determine the basic look of your document.
On the File menu, click Open, and then navigate to
C:\Documents and Settings\user name\Application
Data\Microsoft\Templates.
If no templates are listed in the Open dialog box, click
the arrow next to the Files of type box, and then click
Document Templates.
Double-click the Normal.dot file to open it. To be certain
that you're working in the default template, check to see
that Normal.dot appears in the Word title bar.
Make any changes you want, using the menus and dialog boxes
just as you would to change default settings for a
document, but remember that any changes you make to
Normal.dot will be applied to documents that you create in
the future.
When you have finished, on the Standard toolbar (toolbar: A
bar with buttons and options that you use to carry out
commands. To display a toolbar, click Customize on the
Tools menu, and then click the Toolbars tab.), click Save .
Note If Normal.dot is renamed, damaged, or moved, Word
automatically creates a new version (which uses the
original default settings) the next time that you start
Word. The new version will not include any customizations
you made to the version that you renamed or moved.
