Normal View. Because it's faster--long streams of type is what it's
designed to work with. You probably don't need to worry about how it's
going to look when you print it until you are actually ready to print it.

Outline View may also be exceedingly useful:

By print review mode, do you mean Print Preview--which yes, would take a
while as Word is speaking to the printer driver and setting it up as it
would actually be printed--or Print Layout View, which does a
rough-and-ready job of presenting approximately as it will be printed, and
definitely ought not to take 30 secs?

I assume you mean Print Preview--while it is possible to edit in that mode
(I've heard), it's not a great idea to do much substantive work, as it puts
quite a burden on Word.

Hi,

I assume that this has been documented long time ago.
What is your recommendation?

It takes almost 30 seconds to convert to "print review mode", so I
loose a lot of time of converting between the different modes.

Thanks
Georg
