File Open / View / Details Set as Default Legallisa - switching from WordPerfect 11/3/2008 11:23:00 PM When I OPEN a file, I would like my VIEWS to always be set as DETAILS. How can I set this to be the default view? I have gone to Windows Explorer Tools | Folder Options and set the folders to be like the one shown (details) but when I go back into Word 2007 the old yucky view is still there. Also, I need the the title of the document column to be wider, which I can do by dragging it, but I want to set it wider as a default, and it switches back to the yucky view as soon as I close the open dialogue box. This was posted previously but wasn't answered. Anybody???

Re: File Open / View / Details Set as Default "Terry Farrell" <terryfarrell[ at ]msn.com> 11/4/2008 9:48:20 AM Use File, Open and select Detail from the View menu. That should be remembered. If not, tell us which versions of Word and OS you are using. -- Terry Farrell - MSWord MVP "Legallisa - switching from WordPerfect" <LegallisaswitchingfromWordPerfect[ at ]discussions.microsoft.com> wrote in message news:D3D0245C-B22C-4019-BCF1-D3BFF58FDACD[ at ]microsoft.com...
