Permanantly turn off "Reading Layout"?

I can't stand opening a MS Word file from someone and having it open in the "Reading Layout" format. I know where the close button is int he tool bar but I want to never see the reading layout again. I have looked and can't find how to turn it off permanently.

How do I turn it off??

-that says to do the following:

1. Click the "Tools" menu and choose "Options".
2. When the "Options" multi-tabbed dialog box appears, click "General".
3. Uncheck "Allow starting in Reading Layout".
4. Click "OK" to close the dialog box.
