Open in Print Layout Word 2003

[George Wilson]

Word 2003 can be set by the client to open in Reading Layout. Some types of
documents with tables and drawing objects may not show properly in this type
of layout. Is there a way to force a document to open in Print Layout to
ensure a user is viewing the document as intended?
TIA
George

ensure a user is viewing the document as intended?

Only by including an AutoOpen macro in the document that forces the view. And
then the user has to have a medium or low macro setting in order for the macro
to execute. (Or the document's VBA project must be digitally signed, and the
user must have chosen to trust that signature).
