Hello Everyone,
Hello to you all.
Do you have any way to configure a single word file to always open in web layout, while keeping the rest of the documents in their normal layout?
Currently, whenever I choose a file for web layout, all other Word files also open in that mode.
I think there should be a setting to restrict this to just the current file, but I’m not sure.
Additionally, could there be a method to change an online Word file to web layout? I don’t see any option for that.
Thank you.
If you save any document in the desired view, does that selection stay unchanged?
Another possibility is to record a macro that performs the required steps to switch the target document view to the Web Layout view.
Develop a macro that opens the document, navigates to View > Views > Web Layout.
Macros can be created through the same taskbar that displays Views.
It might already have been done....

What file format is it? Are you referring to the scenario where multiple .txt files are opened in Notepad by default, except for one that needs a different editor? Maybe a right-click on the file would be sufficient according to the provided link. Check if the target file and web app match; then a shortcut macro might work for you.

You will likely need to adjust the macro(s) to fit your needs.
It should be simple (particularly for regular Word users) to set up the macros and test them.
Thank you for the update. I had a small thought about macros. I was hoping for a function that would handle this without using them. Most of what I see online mentions macros, but the feature I need isn't currently available. I might have to wait until Microsoft includes it in a future update (without using macros ofcourse).
Create a test document and try experimenting with Macros.
Begin by following the steps one by one without skipping, ensuring each part functions correctly.
Alternatively, search for existing tutorials or published guides that demonstrate modifications to Word formatting.
I discovered the following resource:

Record a macro while practicing layout changes from one style to another.
Afterward, print and modify the macro—perhaps assigning specific function keys using this link:
