Does anyone know what the registry key is to disable the reading layout mode in word 2003? I know how to turn it off under Tools-Options-General, but I need to know the registry key. Any help would be great. Thanks!

From 10 registry Hacks for Microsoft Office from right here on TR:

1. Navigate to: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options

2. Locate the DWORD value NoClearTypeNW or create the value if it does not exist.

3. Set the NoClearTypeNW value to 1. (Set the 0 or delete the value to enable ClearType.)

4. Close the Registry Editor and restart an Office application.

The reg hack submitted above merely disables clear type in the reading layout. It does not disable the reading layout itself.

This is what Group Policy for Word 2003 does. I tested it, and it seems to work. Note that this has to be done for every user:

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Word\Options\vpref]
"fAllowAutoReadingMode_1886_1"=dword:00000000
