In Word 2003 they're available in every view but Web Layout view. And you
can scroll the thumbnails (just as you can the Document Map) to locate a
specific portion of the document. The thumbnails scroll independently of the
document, and you can click on a specific thumbnail to go to that page. Not
very helpful if the document is all text, but if it contains graphics,
tables, charts, or anything else recognizable at thumbnail size, they can be
useful.

Actually, Word does have the equivalent of a tab for each page if you

Thumbnails.

But aren't thumbnails only available in reading layout?
(I mean they cannot be used as helpful navigational tools while working on
the document in Normal or Print view, which would not be usfeul anyway as
soon as the document went over 20 pages or so.)
