How to I change default setting from Reading Layout to Print Layout when opening e-mail attachments

  • Working with Outlook as my default e-mail, all attachments opened in Word appear in Reading Layout which I then have to manually change the presentation to Print Layout. How do I reset the default so that all Word attachments received open in Print Layout?
Answer
Answer
In Word, click Tools | Options. On the General tab, clear the option to "Allow starting in Reading Layout."
