Layout upon opening emailed documents

T

Tom

I have word 2003, and every time I open up a word
document that has been attached, it always opens in the
READING layout, which drives me crazy. How do I re-set
the preferences to automatically open word attachments in
the print or normal pane?

I'm not having this problem, perhaps because I never open attachments
directly from emails, but there is an Options setting to disable this. As
Word's Help on "reading layout view" says:

Note When you open a Microsoft Word document that you have received as an
e-mail attachment, Word automatically switches to reading layout view. If
you don't want to use reading layout view for e-mail attachments, clear the
Allow starting in Reading Layout check box on the General tab of the Options
dialog box (Tools menu).

In Microsoft Word, go to Tools > Options > General (tab),
uncheck "Allow
starting in Reading Layout.
