Launch Outlook Word attachments into Print Layout view?

[CoastrLvr]

Is there a default I can set so that when I launch a Word attachment from an
email, it will open in Print Layout view? Currently when I open Word
attachments, the default seems to be to open in Full Screen Reading View.
Thanks.

Open Word. Click Tools>Options. On the General tab, uncheck "Allow starting
in Reading Layout". Click OK.

What version of Word is this suggestion for? I clicked Tools => Options =>
General tab, and there is no such selection as "Allow starting in Reading
Layout."

Word 2003 and possibly earlier versions. I'm not at my system with Office
2007 right now, so can't check that. Why don't you start by including your
version of Outlook in your message?

There is no "General" tab in Word 2007. But the View tab has a Print Layout
segment wherin you can select the Print Layout option.

I have a different problem in printing an Outlook 2007 SP2/Windows 7
attachment where I want to print just a small selection, not the whole page.

The default is Print Memo Style -- no opportunity to print a selection as
was the case in Outlook 2003.

Someone suggested editing and saving as an HTML doc but I need to save the
attachment to a browser first. When I do this the half-page width selecion
when printed is spread over the full page width even with small type.

Since the section I want to print is a small table of figures I have been
copying and pasting it to Excel and printing from there. Buty either of these
methods is cumbersome and inferior to the direct selection-printing
capability in Outlook 2003.

Does anyone have a better suggestion?
