Turn Off Reading Layout View
You can change the option that automatically opens a Word attachment in
Reading Layout View? Microsoft thought this would be a handy feature to allow
you to view more than one page like an opened book, but they never anticipated
that some people would actually be annoyed by this feature! To turn this off,
start Microsoft Word, then go to:
- On the menu bar, click Tools, Options, General (tab at top)
- Uncheck Allow starting in Reading Layout
- Click OK
