Hi

There are lots of ways of dealing with this problem.  There are JAWS
script-based ways of doing it, which can   either be activated via a
function call automatically or manually via a script.  My favourite way is
of course automatically. If you would like a script to do this, I can let
you have the code so that you can press a keystroke each time you want Word
optimised for accessibility, I.E. normal view will be set, toolbars
deactivated and zoom ratio set to 75 per cent.

There is also the Word Macro way of implementing this functionality which is
faster but is less automatic.  You will probably need to press a keystroke
to activate the macro.  

If you are not comfortable with creating macros, or jaws scripts, please
write to me off list with the version of jaws you have and I will see what I
can do to help. It'll only take me a few minutes.

After you have made your changes to the view, save the document.
Unfortunately there is no way to lock the view in MS Word, it can change if
you retrieve another document that has been saved with a different set of
view settings,  However if all the documents are authored by yourself and
you save them with your prefferred settings then (over time at least) the
view will not change.
Another suggestion is to open a blank document and make the view changes you
need.  Then press alt+F and down arrow to "page setup" and press enter.
Then tab to the "default" button and press spacebar on it.  You will be
asked if you wish to make changes to the "normal.dot" template, answer
"yes".  This way you will start out with the correct settings on new
documents.

  Good Afternoon All,

  I wonder if any of you could help me please.

  When I am in word, and I have checked the normal in the view menu, and
then
  go out and back in again later, I find that it has returned to print view,
  and this also happens when I remove the check box from ruler it appears
  again when I go in to word later.

  If any one could help me I would be most grateful.

  Regards
