How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View
thanks
Matt,
Under the VIEW tab, there are options to select "One Page" or "Multiple Pages". If you click the One Page icon, MS Word stops the multi-page presentation mode. I read that choosing the "Vertical" will scroll top/bottom, versus left/right.
That doesn't work. As soon as you close Word, it opens in multi-page view the next time you open it.
I have the same question, and I agree that some previous answers don't really address it. I want to stop Word from going into multiple-page view in the first place. If it does, I then have to switch back not only to my preferred single view, but also to set the magnification again. I just want to be allowed to keep my view when, for whatever reason, the window size changes.
At the moment, using Jay Freedman's add-in is the only way to save the view and zoom with individual documents.
The built-in support was removed from Word about a decade ago.
Stefan_Blom Thanks for confirming. It's very frustrating. I want to prevent the behaviour on all documents, including those authored by others. It's just unhelpful and, as screens get wider, happens more often because it's more likely that there's space to trigger it. I'd rather use that space for other windows, but I'm not sure I can even keep Word opening in windows narrow enough to prevent the two-page view.
