"Reading Layout View" in Microsoft Word

We have received numerous complaints about the default way that Microsoft Word displays certain documents, particularly e-mail attachments. By default, Microsoft Word 2003 displays these documents in the quirky, new "Reading Layout View". Many have found it annoying to have to click View/Print Layout on the menu bar to switch to a more normal (and printer-correct) view every time they open a document.

Here's the fix:

Go to Tools on the menu bar and select "Options...". Click on the "General" tab. Then uncheck "Allow starting in Reading Layout". Click "OK" and you're all set!
