How do I change the default opening settings in word 2003

[Guest]

I am not sure if I can do this or not, But I would like to control "how" the
document opens. Which toolbars show up, which ones are turned off, the view
it opens in, the zoom setting etc. Can I do this? If so how do I?
Thanks,

The view and zoom can be set easily -- see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm.

To control the toolbars, you may have to resort to a macro named
AutoOpen or Document_Open (see
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/DocumentEvents.htm) with
commands like

Application.CommandBars("Standard").Visible = True

If as you're doing a macro like that, you can make it control the view
and zoom as well. I'm not so sure about the etc.
