Understanding Document Views

In Word 2007, you can display your document in one of five views: Draft, Web Layout, Print Layout, Full Screen Reading, or Online Layout.

          Draft View

Draft view is the most frequently used view. You use Draft view to quickly edit your document.

           Web Layout

Web Layout view enables you to see your document as it would appear in a browser such as Internet Explorer.

          Print Layout

The Print Layout view shows the document as it will look when it is printed.

          Reading Layout

Reading Layout view formats your screen to make reading your document more comfortable.

Outline View

You should use Draft view for these lessons. Before moving ahead, make sure you are in Draft view:

1. Click the View tab.
2. Click Draft in the Document Views group. When the Draft option is selected it appears in a contrasting color.
