How can I have the View save with the specific Word document?

I have documents on my computer that I want to open in either Print Layout or Web Layout View. In Word 2010 and earlier, if I opened a document it would remember the last view I had used with it - as if the View was saved with the file.

Now in Word 2013, if I open a file, it defaults to the last View I was using. I constantly have to switch views and the extra step is driving me crazy! Any thoughts?

Thanks,
Ryan

To restore the behavior of older versions, try Jay Freedman's add-in (SaveView2013) which you will find at http://jay-freedman.info/.
