How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View
I've had the same problem intermittently for several years, and it drives me crazy. As others have posted, it is not because I was in two-page view previously or because vertical isn't selected--it's just random when opening files. All the "solutions" are just workarounds that require multiple clicks--this is a bug that needs to be fixed.
To get full control over the view in each document, you will have to try Jay Freedman's add-in, SaveViewLocMulti. See https://jay-freedman.info/.

Again, that only works for documents that we create. Given collaboration, loads of the ones we work on will be originated by others.It would be possible to create an AutoOpen macro that sets some zoom and view options for each document that you open in Word.
