Set Word to open a document in Print view every time?

[Hillari]

I have Office 2003. Every time I go to open an Word Document as an
attachment from my Outlook, it opens it in a "reading" view. I want it to
open in the "Print" view or at least the "normal" view. How do I do this?

To prevent e-mail attachments from opening in Reading Layout view:
Select Tools > Options > General tab and turn off "Allow starting in Reading
Layout". Click OK

To make _new_ documents open in the desired view, see this article:
http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm

Note that existing documents open in the view with which they were last
saved (by you or somebody else).

To quickly switch to Print Layout view, you can use a keyboard shortcut. By
default, the keyboard shortcut Alt+Ctrl+P is assigned to Print Layout but you
can assign another shortcut if you wish. See Word's help on "Assign or remove
a shortcut key" if needed.
