How do I get attachments to open in "Normal" view in Outlook 2003

Word attachments in Outlook 2003 open with "side by side" pages. I then have
to go to "View" and choose "normal" and it becomes a normal document of one
page only. Can I change the default? How?

Thanks,

in word, go to tools, options, general and disable reading layout.

When I try to follow your instructions, I go to tools, options -- and there
is no "general" tab. Tabs available are "preferences" "Mail Setup" "Mail
Format" "Spelling" "Security" "Other" and "Delegates"

None of these offer way to change the "book" format on opening -- this is
especially difficult for me as I receive numerous mailings on letterhead that
cannot accept the narrower default format.
How should I proceed?

Hi Nick.

Di said IN WORD. The tabs you described are most definitely IN OUTLOOK.
