How do I change the default view to draft when opening word 2007 . Steve 12/9/2008 3:28:05 PM Every time I open a Word 2007 document, it defauts to 'print layout' view. I want it to open in draft view. Setting it to draft and saving it does not work, on the next open it is back to 'print layout' view.
