How do I ensure a document opens in the same desired view each time? eg Print
layout
 
Generally, documents open in the view they were saved. In Word 2007, though,
you have to check the "Allow opening a document in Draft view" option in
Office button | Word Options, Advanced category (under "General"). See also
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/SaveViewAndZoom.htm.

Alternatively, to force specific settings, you can use an auto macro.

The document should open in the view in which it was saved. Where you have
no control over this you can force the issue with an autoopen macro
containing the lines

With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 500
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With

The extra Zoom line corrects the tendency for the cursor to 'disappear' in
Word 2003 particularly.
