defaults for templates.......

[Guest]

Hi all,
Is there a way to set the way the templates look when
they are first opened up, for example: Page Layout View
vers. Normal View?

Thanks for the help!

The view takes on the setting of the file you are opening (or your
normal.dot when starting Word). Open your template, set the view to Page
Layout, save your template, close your template, then recreate a new
document based on your template by clicking "File", "New". It should open
to the view setting of the template.

You can force the issue with a couple of macros:

Sub Autonew()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub

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

The above are from my notebook and add a couple of extra items - whiuch
should be self evident

Yeah, I use the AutoOpen and AutoClose to force "FullScreen" view (return to
Print Layout view) when linking to Word documents from within PowerPoint
slides.
