MS word 2000 Page Layout

Running Office 2000 on Citrix Servers, want to set MS word to display
page layout by default, need a way to set this via the registry or some
other setting other than the normal.dot

I added an AutoExec macro to a global template that switches to print view.
I don't know of any way short of this to reliably keep Word starting in the
same view. The settings are sticky, I believe, and if the last document you
are in when you close Word is in a particular view, Word will open in that
view. The exception to this, in later versions, is the Reading Layout which
can be triggered by the document being opened unless you turn it off in
Word.
http://word.mvps.org/faqs/general/saveviewandzoomcontent.htm shows how to do
it with normal.dot but you said you wanted another way. An AutoExec in a
different global can be that way.

Hi Charles

Thanks for the advice, as we have word been opened by an external app on
Citrix
it seems that there is a bit of code in the app that keep switching it back
to normal view, we tried all aspects of adding macro's, editing the
normal.dot and none seem to keep the view when been opened. have gone back to
supplier.

regards
