my normal.dot template is set to view as print layout,
but when I open existing documents, they do not default
to this view. Anyone know what setting I need to change?
Thx!

A pair of macros will do it. The following also cater for the most common
parameters. See http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm

Sub AutoNew()
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
CommandBars("Reviewing").Visible = False
End Sub

Sub AutoOpen()
ActiveWindow.Caption = ActiveDocument.FullName
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.DisplayRulers = True
ActiveWindow.ActivePane.View.ShowAll = False
With ActiveWindow.View
.Type = wdPrintView
.Zoom.Percentage = 100
.FieldShading = wdFieldShadingWhenSelected
.ShowFieldCodes = False
.DisplayPageBoundaries = True
End With
End Sub
