Print Layout view is fairly WYSIWYG (Print Preview more so), but Normal view
is a "draft" view intended for greatest performance when composing.

The Normal view isn't WYSIWYG at all; it doesn't display anything in the
drawing layer, and it doesn't display frames in position or wrapped.
Now I'm totally confused. On the one hand I understand that formatting of
Word documents differs from machine to machine because its WYSIWYG and
depends on whatever printer is installed, now you're telling me Word is
NOT
WYSIWYG - so why should the formatting depend on printers if it's NOT
WYSIWYG?
