Microsoft Word
Turn off Reading View when Open
Word from an Outlook Attachment

For the last few versions of Microsoft Word, file opened from email attachments automatically open in Reading View.

​

But what if you don't want to open in Reading View?  Here's how to turn  it off:

​

1.  Open Word

2.  Click the File tab > Options > General

3.  Uncheck the Open e-mail attachments and other uneditable files in reading view option
