Opening Word document

[E J GEISER]

If I put a link to a word document how do I control the VIEW (Normal, Web layout, or Print layout) that viewer gets when they open it? When I open it on my computer it seems to always open in the Print layout, which does not look too good. Regular users of Word will know they can change the view, but it is the casual user that might have trouble. Since I have Word it is the automatic program to open this document so I do not know what it would look like in the Word Reader. The URL is: http://www.germanfiredept.org/downloads.htm

Save the document in the view you want it to open in, then publish. Word
documents normally open in the same state they were saved in.
