Using Word 2003/2007 as the RTF internal editor?

[Steve10]

I have replaced the internal rtf editor with Word and everything seems to work great. I can customize the toolbars and they save but I cannot figure out how to change the default view to 'Web Layout View' in the Text Template.

I can do this by importing a new Word Template but I was trying to get this to work with the existing Text template which I have been using for most of my exsiting entries.

It's not so bad uisng Word 2003 in Normal view mode but Word 2007 wastes a lot of space in that view. The Web Layout View is much better. It is also cool to see the Word 2007 Ribbon running inside of UR but again it takes up a lot of extra space. At this time I prefer using Word 2003 in UR but it keeps switching Word versions depending on which one I run from the desktop. Is there any way to lock in Word 2003 as the default editor for UR even if I run Word 2007 from time to time?

Thanks,
Steve

That appears to be the only way to alter the default view.

Not that I'm aware of. You would need to run Word 2003 for it to register itself as the OLE object to use for embedded .doc files.
