How do I Stop Word Switching to Multiple Pages View
Make sure that you send feedback to Microsoft. Word developers do not read these forums.
6,307 items of feedback have been offered for word. If you filter those suggestions by the options such as "We're working on this" and other such options that indicate actual action by microsoft do you know how many times feedback has mattered and actually yielded an improvement. 7. 7 times out of 6,307. They do not care at all about us beyond whether we continue to subscribe.
Note that you can use Jay Freedman's add-in, which provides more flexibility with saving view settings than the user interface has ever made, even in older versions of Word.
P.S. I have no idea how Microsoft prioritizes suggestions. Only Microsoft would be able to answer that, and they rarely discuss these things publicly.
