When I open a Word doc, by default it opens in Notebook layout, which I don't want. By default docs are supposed to open in Print layout. What kind of weird glitch is this? It started about 2 years ago.

Check your "Normal Template". Whatever is set on the Word Normal Template will cause all new documents and previous documents that were opened from it to display the template's settings.

For example: I have my Word Normal Template setup to use the "Verdana font" at 12 points. All new documents that I open will open with the font set to Verdana 12 points by default.

You may have your Normal Template set to open documents in the Notebook view. If that's so, you need to change it to "print layout".
