How to control Word to open files in Draft layout and Document Map
in [Document Management]
|
From: Ross_123 on 21 May 2010 11:20 I can't find how to control this. Sometimes for a long period all documents open in Draft mode which is what I want but sometimes they open in other layout modes and I have to constantly switch to Draft layout mode. Also the same happens with the Document Map view that appear on the left side. I used to have all documents open with that Document Map view but currently for about a month all documents open with Thumbnails view and I have to always switch to Document Map view every time.

You can use a macro like this: Sub AutoOpen() With ActiveWindow .DocumentMap = True .Thumbnails = False .View.Type = wdNormalView End With End Sub and a similar one named AutoNew(). Read http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm for explanation of this and other things you can do when opening a document. You should also look at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/SaveViewAndZoom.htm. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org Email cannot be acknowledged; please post all follow-ups to the newsgroup so all may benefit.
From: Stefan Blom on 21 May 2010 12:00 The view is saved with the document--so documents open the way they were saved. The display of the Document Map, on the other hand, seems to be "global" in Word: the setting that was last used remains throughout the current session (and possibly even if you exit and restart Word). But note that the Document Map may be visible in Print Layout view and hidden in Draft view. -- Stefan Blom Microsoft Word MVP (Message posted via NNTP) "Ross_123" <Ross_123(a)discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:1221D790-2134-4658-A476-2C00E4ACDAB9(a)microsoft.com... >I can't find how to control this.

From: Suzanne S. Barnhill on 21 May 2010 12:49 Note also that documents, even if saved in Draft view, will not open in Draft view unless you have explicitly selected that option in Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: General: "Allow opening a document in Draft view." -- Suzanne S.
