How can I prevent my view selections (esp. toolbars) from changin.

When I open a file from another user who had different selections for view -
especially toolbars and icons on the toolbar - my view takes on the new
format as the "master." Why bother to select what tools you want on the
toolbar when it is changed everytime you look at a document you didn't
prepare? Is there as way I can keep my format of "view" instead of
defaulting to the last one opened?

I guess I am looking for more convenience. I get many attachments each day -
word, xcel, ppt - all cahnge my settings. I was hoping there was a "master
switch" I could go to to keep from having to place all the icons that I use
back on the various toolbars. I undewrstand that documentys will open as
they were saved. the problem is that it maintains that format until either I
manually go through the motions of changing them or open another document.
Thanks for trying to be helpful. It looks like it is just the product and I
will have to continue changing back to what I need each time.
