how do i turn off draft layout
Draft and Print Layout are just views of the same thing. If your document
looks the same in Draft and Print Layout views, then that's what it looks like. You should be able to print (or Print Preview) from any view. From your use of the term "Draft" I assume you're using Word 2007? When you click on the Print Layout button, do you not see a page with blue space on either side? Perhaps you are confused by not seeing the top and bottom margins? If so, see http://sbarnhill.mvps.org/WordFAQs/WhiteSpace.htm -- Suzanne S.

how do i turn off draft layout
thanks suzanne yes, I have recently started to work in Word 2007. The Print layout button does not seem to work as it immediately reverts to draft. other buttons - eg web layout and outline work but not print layout. Also it seems that the document cannot print from draft. This is not the case for all my documents as some of these seem fine - are in print view and able to print. Had a look at your website but it doesn't address this problem. I'm appreciative of any further help you can give anne "Suzanne S.

how do i turn off draft layout
Word 2007 doesn't have any toolbars; are you referring to the Ribbon? You
may just have it minimized. If you still see what looks like a menu bar, you can click on any tab to open it (it will close again when you click back in the document), or you can double-click a tab to redisplay the Ribbon. -- Suzanne S.

how do i turn off draft layout
It definitely sounds as if you have some problems. As a test, try opening
Word in Safe Mode: close Word and then restart it holding down the Ctrl key. You'll be asked if you want to start in Safe Mode; say yes. If things work normally in Safe Mode, this indicates a problem with Normal.dotm, the Word Data key in the Registry, an add-in, or possibly a problem printer driver. If you have an HP printer, some of these have been causing a lot of problems, but we've also been seeing reports of a variety of problems that are best solved by refreshing the Word Data key. For instructions on the latter, see http://word.mvps.org/FAQs/AppErrors/MissingMenusEtc.htm. Ignore the problem descriptions in that article and just go straight to the part that tells how to locate the key (you'll be looking for version 12) and delete it. -- Suzanne S.

how do i turn off draft layout
If there are problems still in Safe Mode, then no, nothing you could do
(Word Data key or anything else) would be likely to help. Is there somewhere that you could post a screen shot of what you're seeing? For example, with the Ribbon minimized, I see a title bar at the top and then something looks like the old-fashioned Menu Bar that says Home Insert Page Layout References Mailings Review View, etc. and then my QAT below it and the ruler below that. If I click on Home or Insert or whatever, that tab will open temporarily. Or I can right-click on the "menu bar" (which is really the tabs of the Ribbon and click on "Minimize the Ribbon" (to deselect it), the Ribbon reappears. The same if I double-click on any of the tabs. At the bottom of the screen, I see the status bar, with the five View buttons in a row, Print Layout, Full Screen Reading, and so on down to Draft. In Draft view the entire screen is white; in Print Layout view there is a white page with blue on either side. If I have the Zoom increased to (in my case) 170%, then I still see white all the way across (but of course the text would be gigantic). I'd still see my margins because I have text boundaries enabled, which I imagine you don't. -- Suzanne S.
