print layout mode different from draft mode in same document
In MS Vista, Word 2007, why is the Print Layout mode and the Draft mode
displayed differently for the same document? For example, with the margins set at 1.25" Left and 0.9" Right, using font Courier New and font size 12, there are a maximum of 63 characters on a line in Print Layout, and only a maximum of 61 characters on a line in Draft mode. Is there any way to change Draft mode to look the same as Print Layout mode? |

The draft mode is simply that a draft mode. It is not intended to resemble
the final appearance of the document. If you want a print layout view, use print layout view. -- Graham Mayor - Word MVP My web site www.gmayor.com Word MVP web site http://word.mvps.org ccar wrote: In MS Vista, Word 2007, why is the Print Layout mode and the Draft mode displayed differently for the same document?

That said, however, Draft view is a lot less WYSIWYG than Normal view in
previous versions. For example, it doesn't (except in Compatibility Mode) display any graphics (even inline ones), IIRC. And I know I was very disconcerted to realize that condensing text showed no result in Draft view (I have a button to condense text by 0.1 point that I use frequently for copyfitting purposes). One change that may help (though probably not in Draft view) is to check the box for "Optimize character positioning for layout rather than readability" in Office Button | Word Options | Advanced: Display. -- Suzanne S.
