Turn off reading layout when opening attachments Kerry 12/8/2008 8:42:09 PM I'm trying to find out how to change a setting in word. I want to stop attachments from automatically opening in reading layout. I found the below instructions, but I don't know what the Office button is or where to find it. Does anyone know where this mysterious button is, or another way to change this? 1. Click the Office button 2. Select Word Options 3. Click Popular in the left column 4. Deselect "Open e-mail attachments in Full Screen Reading View" Any help would be apprciated, Kerry.

If using Word 2003, go to tools, options, then the general tab and unclick Allow Starting in Reading Layout "Kerry" wrote: [Quoted Text] > I'm trying to find out how to change a setting in word.

RE: Turn off reading layout when opening attachments Kerry 12/8/2008 8:59:01 PM Hi PJY, Thnks you for responding. I have already checked that box. It seems to be a setting in outlook, because even with that not checked when I open an attachment, it opens in reading view. I looked through all the options in word and outlook and can't find anything to turn it off. Kerry. "PJY" wrote: [Quoted Text] > If you are not using 2007, you won't see an Office Button.

RE: Turn off reading layout when opening attachments Kerry 12/9/2008 1:44:17 PM it is unchecked, but when I receive an attachment and open from outlook it always opens in reading. Even with the box unchecked. I think it might be a setting or something in outlook, but I can't see any where to change it. I also read some where that it may be a result of an add-in or script that was run. Which makes sense given the environment I'm in. I guess it might just be something I'll have to put with.
