Disable Reading Layout View in Office 2003

Have you ever received a Word document as an email attachment? Did it open up in a split page view? That split page view is called "Reading Layout View". Personally, I find Word opening a document in that view annoying. Apparently, so do many of you out there. Some of you may like using Word's "Reading Layout View" and that's great. On a large LCD monitor it does make documents more viewable. But, just in case you don't like it, here's a short video to show you how to keep "Reading Layout View" from hijacking your email attachments. You can read more about "Reading Layout View" at this link.

Ah - thank you! I knew if I looked around for an hour, I'd find that check box. Much easier with a guided tour.

BRILLIANT! Can't thank you enough, and my computer will be so grateful that I don't swear at it everytime I open a document from email! :-D
