Default Do styles help with drafting? (Reposted from word.general, as this location seems more suitable)

If you want to see as much of the document as possible, use Normal view with
lines wrapped to the window. In Print Layout view, you can hide the white
space between pages for a continuous flow of text at a reasonable reading
width.

Thanks everyone for the help.

An additional reason formatting the draft matters concerns the ways the
layout affects the writer, both practically and psychologically.
Practically, because sometimes you want to see as much of the document as
possible. This may help with continuity of exposition. Psychologically,
people differ in how the way the look of the progressing draft affects
their writing.

if you intend to hand-correct the manuscript
