Opening all documents in NORMAL view.

[Glenn Dale]

How do I force Word to open each and every document, no matter the source,
using the NORMAL "view" rather than a "view" of Word's own choosing?

 

[Suzanne S. Barnhill]

Any document opens in the view in which it was saved. To force them to open
in Normal view, you'll need a macro.

 

[Graham Mayor]

As for the macro, you'll need an autonew and an autoopen macro in normal.dot
each containing (at least) the line

ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdNormalView
