As explained in the article, one of the original goals of Word for Windows
was to be as WYSIWYG as possible, especially in Print Preview. This is
possible only if the view represents what the user can expect to print on
the currently selected printer.

The appearance will depend on the recipient's printer driver; see

I can't believe that. Why on EARTH would a document's view depend on a
PRINTER driver? Who thought that one up? Is this another crazy example of
MS
developers not communicating with each other? A PDF looks the same on any
machine, whether Windows, MAC or Linux. Why can't a Word document do the
same? (Obviously not on Linux. ;-) )
