Print Preview is *not* an editing mode, so it shows only what will
actually
appear on the printed page.

Although you *can* edit in Print Preview if you turn the Magnifier off.

The 'characters' you are seeing in Print Layout View (which is an
*editing*
mode)are non-printing characters which account for white-space in the
document and are only visible in that view if you have the Show/Hide ¶
feature turned on. Being able to accurately determine what causes the
spacing
in a document facilitates editing & revising it's content.

In page layout carriage returns and information in some tables can be
seen,
but in print preview they are not. i.e. blank cells in the tables and
no
"space" between paragraphs.
Why?
