RE: Getting Word to open in a different view

["Marci Bethel" <mhbethel -at- rmbeditorial -dot- com>]

James Barrow asked: 
<<For some reason, Word 2003 keeps opening my documents in "Read" view by
default. <snip> I've tried everything I know to get it to open my docs in
"Print Layout" view (or "Normal," or just about any view other that "Read"),
but it keeps defaulting to "Read".  Any thoughts?>>

Try this: 
Tools > Options > General tab -- uncheck the "Allow starting in Reading
layout" checkbox (top right of window).
It seems to have worked for me (Windows XP, Word 2003).

HTH,
Marci
