Files always opening in Document Map format. Grrrr....

[Guest]

If anyone can help, I'd really appreciate it: Whenever I open up a Word
document, especially, a Word document that has come as an Outlook attachment,
Word launches the file in "Document Map" view. I can't figure out how to
change this. I want my files to open either in "Print Layout" or "Normal"
view.

Can anyone tell me how to fix this?

Document Map or Outline view? If the latter, see

Thanks for your reply. I am still having a problem, however. I did a search
and there is no document on my PC called "normal.dot." I think that I know
how to create a new normal.dot, but I can't quite figure out where exactly to
save it. I see that the last part of the path is C:\...\Microsoft\Templates.

Can you advise me on what to do to create and save a new normal.dot? Or
perhaps you have another solution?

Much appreciated.

You don't create a Normal.dot; Word does. For instructions on finding
Normal.dot, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/BlankDocNotBlank.htm
