Chapter 6. Working with Document Views

PICTURE YOURSELF GOING OUTSIDE on a beautiful spring day. If you look up, you see the sky and the birds. If you look down, you see the grass and pavement, and if you look around, you see flowers, shrubs, cars, and people. The general view is of the outside, but as you move around, your perspective changes.

Word provides several different view perspectives to use when displaying a document, each having its own purpose. There is Print Layout view where you can see all elements in your document up close. Full Screen Reading view limits the distractions, and you can focus strictly on reading the document content. Web Layout view shows you how your document might appear on a website. Draft view hides margins, graphics, headers and footers, so you can concentrate on editing the document content.
