Save the following macro in each document (not in a template):
Sub AutoOpen()
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdOutlineView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
End With
End Sub
Everytime you open the document, it will be in outline view with 100% zoom.
To save this macro in a document:
Copy the macro from Sub through End Sub in this message
Open Word and open the 1st document you want to open in outline view
On the Tools menu, point to Macro and click Macros
In the Macros in box, select the name of the current document -- don't
accept the default
Click Create, which will open the Visual Basic Editor
Assuming there is no macro saved in the document, click Paste on the Edit
menu
Close the Editor by clicking x Close button in the upper right corner.
Save the document
When you reopen the document, you will be in outline view with 100% zoom
regardless of what view you were in when you saved it or what view you were
last in when working with another document in the same session.
If you have any trouble with macro security, check Word's Help

When I open documents that have been saved in outline view, they always
revert to normal view. Not a big deal, but a bit of a time waster when
opening a document with 4 or 5 frames, all SUPPOSED to be in outline. Any
way to make the view stick when I save and close the document? I'm using
Word 2000 and I am unable to change normal.dot on my office computer.
