The View mode is saved with the document. This gives you two alternatives:
a) Find out who saves it in Normal View and give him/her a faster PC and/or optimize Word
b) This code, but it will trigger the macro warning
Private Sub Document_Open()
'Ensures that doc always will open in Page Layout, regardless in
'which mode it was saved
'Place this code at ThisDocument level
With ActiveWindow
If .View.SplitSpecial = wdPaneNone Then
.ActivePane.View.Type = wdPageView
Else
.View.Type = wdPageView
End If
End With
End Sub

I did find that creating a pdf locks in the page layout view (after a fashion)
Yup, I found the same wordage on further investigation in the help file. It's sort of like a cookbook in which you are looking for Roast Beef, can't find it. It's listed under meat dishes, or main meals.
