Microsoft Word 2003 - Set default view to print layout view

You can't set a default for all documents that you view in Word, because the view setting is stored with each individual document as a document property. You can save your document in the view with which you want it to open. Documents that you receive from others will open with the view in which they were previously saved.

Exact words from MS i.e. you can do it for a document at save but not the default view for all doc's
