Word is supposed to remember which view you last used with a document. For instance, many people like to work on their documents in Draft view. You may, however, want to use a different view as your default. Normally Word displays your document in Print Layout view, in an attempt to approximate what your document will look like when you print it. (The difference between Word's views is discussed fully in other WordTips.) The easiest way to switch between views is to use the small view icons on the status bar.
Word allows you to work with your document using several different 'views.' Each view has a specific purpose and allows you to examine the document differently.
