Stay in Print View

J

Jim Mitchell

I have a document that I e-mail. It seems to sometimes open in "Normal
View". I want it to be locked into (or at least be sure to open in) Print
Layout view so that my graphics look nice and in the right place.

Can this be done?

Jim,

I use the following AutoOpen macro in my document template:

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.View.Type = wdPrintView
ActiveWindow.View.Zoom.PageFit = wdPageFitBestFit
End Sub

Hi Jim,

Typically Word reopens a document in the view in which
it was last saved. You can set a default view for your
copy of Word but you can't enforce it on other folks.

Note that in addition to the view the layout of the page
will be affected by the version of Word someone is using,
the available fonts on their PC, their graphics card driver
and the printer choice they have in File=>Print.

Word is text reflow rather than page layout software.
