Is there a way to force a default view everytime I open Word? Even though I
went to my normal.dot and set what I thought was the default, Word opens to
the last viewed setting whenever I start Word. I'm using version 2002 and
the Win2000 Pro OS.

Thanks!
 
You can override the settings stored in the document with an autoopen macro
to call the required view: -
eg the following will force the print layout view.

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub

New documents should adapt to what you have saved in normal.dot, but an
autonew macro will reinforce that setting should it be necessary.
