Microsoft Word Annoyances: Reading Layout View
September 13th, 2007 | Published in Tech
One of the most annoying features of Microsoft Word 2003 (part of Microsoft Office 2003) is the Reading Layout view. This is the default view in Word that displays two pages side-by-side on your screen. Reading Layout view also hides your toolbars. This view is seldom people’s favorite, but many people don’t realize that you can turn it off. Turning off Reading Layout view is easy:
- First, in Microsoft Word, go to the “Tools” menu at the top of the screen
- Click on “Options”
- On the General tab, uncheck the checkbox next to “Allow starting in Reading Layout.”
- Click “OK”
That was easy!
