Probably because you should do your own homework.

Maybe it's because no one else needed to ask that question. Do your own
homework.

Actually, that's a very good question. Print layout view in Word pretty
accurately shows me how a page will appear once printed, so about the only
time I use print preview in Word is to update fields. Before W2007, I used
normal view (& back) for that purpose. In Excel 2003 and before I used print
preview often, but now with Excel 2007's page layout view, I, again, rarely
use print preview. I've wondered why print preview is still a feature (since
at least W2002). Either it remains because too many users would squawk if
it were removed, or it does something the other views (including the reading
view) can't. Does anyone know?

If you display nonprinting marks the difference between Print Layout view
and Print Preview will be apparent.

They look exactly the same, pilcrows, centered dots for spaces, greyed fields,
and all -- except that there are no green squiggles in the print preview, but
they can turned off in print layout.

Which version of Word are you using? Using Windows versions only (Word 97,
2000, 2003, and now 2007), I have certainly never seen nonprinting marks in
Print Preview. (Well, one exception might be the shading applied to form
fields.)

If you're seeing them in Print Preview, they aren't non-printing.

They show up on my print preview screen, but they do not print.
