Default why do we use print preview modes?

But note, as other messages in the thread show, that nonprinting marks can
be displayed in Print Preview as well, if you first enable the editing mode.
That was certainly news to me.

Especially if you also display text boundaries.

If you display nonprinting marks the difference between Print Layout view
and Print Preview will be apparent.

Actually, that's a very good question. Print layout view in Word pretty
accurately shows me how a page will appear once printed, so about the
only
time I use print preview in Word is to update fields. Before W2007, I
used
normal view (& back) for that purpose. In Excel 2003 and before I used
print
preview often, but now with Excel 2007's page layout view, I, again,
rarely
use print preview. I've wondered why print preview is still a feature
(since
at least W2002). Either it remains because too many users would squawk
if
it were removed, or it does something the other views (including the
reading
view) can't. Does anyone know?
