Well I thought there must be a way, so I did some searching on Google. You could probably do it with some sort of jaws script also, but here is how to do it native to word. I found the answer at: http://www.theofficeexperts.com/VBASamples/Word02.htm I tested this with Word XP, but I believe it should work for all versions of Word. This is probably for the more experienced word user and I would make a backup of my normal.dot template first. Please read the above article first and then here is my "jaws friendly" version based on the above how to article. First you must navigate to and open the normal.dot template file. Then press alt f11 to be placed in the visual basic editor. Press control R to be sure you are in the project explorer. Arrow down in the treeview to where it says ThisDocument and hit enter. This should place you in the code window. Copy and paste the following lines (do not include the copy from here and stop copying, smile). Copy from below here: Private Sub Document_New() SetView wdNormalView End Sub Private Sub Document_Open() SetView wdNormalView End Sub Private Sub SetView(ByVal iView As Integer) With ActiveDocument.ActiveWindow If .View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then .ActivePane.View.Type = iView Else .View.Type = iView End If End With End Sub Stop Copying. Paste that and press alt f4. This should close the visual basic editor and place you back in the normal.dot. Press alt f4 to leave word and close the normal.dot. You will be asked if you want to save the changes to the normal.dot template. Enter on yes. So far on every thing I have tested this change with, they have all opened in normal view regardless of the view in which they were created or saved.
