Two issues here
1. You should not 'launch documents from Outlook' it is much safer to save
them to the hard drive and open from there.
2. Tools > options > general > uncheck allow starting in reading layout.

To always open in 'normal' view regardless of the view saved in the document
requires the help of a macro:

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