I, on the other hand, rarely work in Print Layout view, even in short
documents; when I do, I often hide the "white space" (header and footer) so
that I can read the text continuously.

The document is the same regardless of which view it is saved or viewe in.

Normal view is faster, especially with long documents. Print view is
closer
to what you would see when you print, but displaying this requires more
processing and can slow you down. I almost always work in print view but I
seldom work with documents that exceed 100 pages.

While writing in Normal View the insertion of any photo NOT "inline"
mode
switches the view automatically to Print View. I can work in this view
(no
choice) and it prints what I see fine. So I'm wondering, why ever use
Normal
View if it cannot reliably show - what you type, insert and see is what
you
get?

Does Normal View imply words only without graphics? Anyone heard
Microsoft's
thinking on this? Will I be ok sending out only Print View saved docs?
