(Beginning in Word 2000, Web Layout view does not automatically display the Document Map.) If you are using Word 97, Online view also presents the Document Map at the left of the program window so that you can easily navigate to different areas of your document. Web Layout view (referred to in Word 97 as "Online view") is designed to allow you to easily see how your documents will look if used in an online environment. When you select Outline view, an additional outline toolbar appears at the top of the current window or document pane. The text under each heading can be hidden so it does not obscure your view of document organization. It allows you to collapse your document and view only the major headings. Outline view is used when you want to work with large portions of your document at the same time. Print Layout view does not display the style area. Normal view also offers a benefit over Print Layout view in that you can use the style area to see what paragraph styles have been applied to your document. You can also see where each page will break. This means you can see what each line will look like, how the text appears, and where the lines will break. When using Normal view, you can generally see how your text will appear on paper. It offers a good balance of speed and appearance, whereas Print Layout view can slow down your system. Normal view is the one you will probably use for most of your writing and editing. (If you have a newer, faster computer, this slowdown should not be much of a concern.) In addition, Print Preview slows down Word quite a bit, even from the otherwise slow Page Layout view. Page Layout allows you to easily use Word's complete set of editing tools, whereas Print Preview does not because the various toolbars are not automatically available.
You should not confuse Page Layout with Print Preview.
This is the viewing mode you should use if you want to always see what your document will look like. (In some versions of Word this view may be called Page Layout view.) In this viewing mode you can see your headers and footers in place, what your margins look like, how your frames appear in relation to text, and what your graphics look like in your document. Print Layout view is the one most closely related to what your document will look like when you actually print it.
You can choose which view you are using by clicking on the view controls at the left side of the horizontal scroll bar, or by selecting a view from the View menu. The major views available in Word are Normal, Outline, Print Layout, and Web Layout. Word provides different ways you can view your documents, depending on your particular needs.
