When you open Word document attached to an e-mail the reading layout <\/em>is displayed. Some users don’t actually realise the view is supposed to help them read the document on screen.<\/p>\n
What normally happens (especially if the document has pictures\/diagrams) is that the user thinks the document has been poorly laid out and they close Word straight away<\/p>\n
Quite unfair on the author wouldn’t you say?<\/p>\n
So to change this behaviour open Word, click on the TOOLS menu and select OPTIONS<\/p>\n
When the options dialog is displayed select the GENERAL tab and uncheck the ALLOW STARTING IN READING LAYOUT option (top right)<\/p>\n
You can still select reading layout if need be but when you open a document from now on it will open in the standard view (usually page layout view?)<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
