You should be able to accomplish that using an AutoOpen macro.
Open a document you know won't be in Print Layout view. Turn the macro
recorder on, and name the macro AutoOpen. Change the view to Print Layout.
Turn off the macro recorder.
Thereafter, when you open a new document based on Normal.dot, the AutoOpen
macro should set the view to Print Layout. If you use multiple templates,
you would need to copy the AutoOpen macro from Normal.dot to the other
templates as well.
