Setting default view for WORD

[Guest]

I always want Print Layout to be my default view. The help files state that:

You can't set a default for all documents that you view in Word, because
the
view setting is stored with each individual document as a document
property.
You can save your document in the view with which you want it to open.
Documents that you receive from others will open with the view in which
they
were previously saved.

I don't like this feature. I think you should offer a option to make
whatever view
the uses wants be the default.

Thanks

Hi, CT. Unfortunately, it won't work when you first open Word.

A pair of auto macros will force your preference. The following also include
corrections for a couple of other minor irritations. You can remove the
extra lines if preferred - the only bits required for the job in hand are as
follows. Set the zoom to your preference - here 100%

With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With

See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Drawing").Visible = False
CommandBars("Forms").Visible = False
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
ActiveWindow.DisplayHorizontalScrollBar = True
ActiveWindow.DisplayVerticalScrollBar = True
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub
