INTRODUCTION

Word provides several views you can use to work with your documents. Print Layout view, the default, shows the margin areas of your document, so you can see things such as page numbers . You need to use this view to work with columns and graphics, among other things. If you are typing a document that doesn't contain a lot of formatting, Normal view should work well. This view doesn't show your margin areas, but it gives you an uncluttered view of your text. Reading Layout view is useful if you need to read through a long document and want to see the text clearly.

To adjust the size of the text as it's displayed onscreen (this doesn't change how it prints), click the Increase Text Size or Decrease Text Size button.

When you are finished, click the Close toolbar button to switch back to the previous view.

TIP

What Is a Screen?

In Reading Layout view, Word uses the term screen to refer to the pages you see on the screen. It does this to help you remember that the amount of text you see on an onscreen page in Reading Layout view doesn't bear any relation to what will appear on the printed page. Rather, the screens just divide up the text into amounts that you can scan easily.

TIP

Removing White Space

In Print Layout view, you can hide the white space. Point to the lower edge of the horizontal ruler, and click the Hide White Space ScreenTip is visible. To return the white space to view, click the same place again.
