Registry setting that will *permanently* keep Reading Layout "off"

[kyot58]

I really dislike the Reading Layout view. Every time I open an email
attachment from Outlook, it comes back. I have turned it off countless times
in Tools> Options> General > clear the check box for Allow starting in
Reading Layout. Is there a registry setting that will permanently do this? I
am using Word 2003. Thanks for anyone's help here.

You can use a couple of auto macros in your Normal template (or add the code
to these macros if they already exist):

Sub AutoOpen()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
Options.AllowReadingMode = False
End Sub
