Normal view in Word 2010

If you’re using either Word 2007 or 2010 and preferred working in the Normal view, then you’re probably wondering what happened to it.

It would appear that they have done away with the Normal view, actually they just renamed it. To //Draft view.//

Sadly the facility is short-lived when you save a file in the Draft view you will find that later it opens in the Print Layout view again.

Microsoft has included in the program options a place to tell Word whether or not you prefer to allow documents to open in the Draft view.

If you like that view then you’ll want to allow it, and here’s how :-

Begin in the Office Button / File tab and choose Options.

In the Options dialog box choose the Advanced category on the left



On the right scroll all the way down to the General section.

Locate and select the “Allow opening a document in Draft view” option.

Click OK.

Voila!

When you next open a file that you saved in Draft view it will still be in Draft view
