If I understand you correctly, you are proposing to keep "Print Layout" how it is and instead add a new view-layout called "Draft Layout." And this "Draft Layout" would merge the ends and beginnings of pages together like the pic I uploaded to imgur illustrates? If I understand this correctly, the "Draft Layout" sounds like a great solution. But I would kindly suggest adding a setting that lets users set "Draft Layout" as the default layout that Writer displays when it is opened. So when I open Writer to begin a document, "Draft Layout" is the view that is selected by default. I would have to manually change it if I wanted "Print Layout" or "Web Layout". Does this make sense?
