How do I define default view with document map in Word 2007?

[Gordan]

In Word 2007, how can I define the default view to show document map?

 

[Stefan Blom]

In general, a document will open in the view in which it was saved. And if
you have chosen to display the document map in that view, it will continue
to display.

However, if you want to force a certain view as well as force the display of
the document map, whenever you create a new document or open an existing
one, you can use the following pair of macros:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'Print Layout view
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
End Sub

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = 3 'Print Layout view
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom = 100
ActiveWindow.DocumentMap = True
End Sub

Install the macros in your Normal template (see
