Forcing "Web Layout" view for document templates

Greetings,

I am wondering if there is an "easy" way to force web layout view on a document template?

I created a template for my department, for our procedures. They're best viewed in web layout format (and we want them in this view when they're migrated into SharePoint).

When I created the template, I set web layout view for that template.

But any time I double-click to create a new document based on the template, it defaults back to Print Layout view. 

Same as when I save a new document (based off the template) in Web Layout view -- next time opening, it defaults back to Print Layout.

Help me fix this, please!

    Hi Annette,

    Thank you for choosing Microsoft Community.

    Within word we do not have the option to change it to web layout format for shared files.

    You may check if it is possible using a code. For more assistance on using code, you may consider posting your query in the forum below for better suggestions:
