Word reading view when document opened from Outlook

Question

Is there a setting in either Outlook or Word that will change the default "Reading View" for documents opened from Outlook?

Currently, it is always opening any document in Fullscreen Reading view. I would prefer the document opened in standard "Print Layout".

Answer 1

The culprit is actually a setting in Word:

Under Tools > Options > General, uncheck "Allow starting in Reading layout".

Answer 2

When you open a Word file from an Outlook email attachment then by default Word opens it in reading layout. So to change this, follow the below mentioned settings in Outlook.

1. Go to: Tools menu → Options → General
2. Uncheck the “ Allow starting in Reading Layout” check box
3. Click OK.

Also to view the documents in print layout, Go to View menu and select Print Layout.
