How can I change the following views?
Everytime I open a document, it automatically opens in 'read layout' view
when I would rather see it wysiwyg - print layout. How can I make print
layout the default?
Some docs open with revisions (final showing markup). I am not interested
in previous revisions - I just want to see the FINAL version.
I can change this pretty quickly with the Review toolbar, but it does this
everytime I open said documents. Even if I save it in FINAL view.
Can anyone help me change this?
Thanks!

1. Tools | Options | General: clear the check box for "Allow starting in
Reading Layout."

2. Tools | Options | Security: clear the check box for "Make hidden markup
visible when opening or saving" (though I don't recommend this). If you are
"not interested in previous revisions," then accept all the changes, delete
all the comments, and turn off Track Changes, and there will be no markup to
display.
