------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Wed Jul 6 04:51:25 -0700 2005 ------- I'd like to reinforce my support for this issue. (I've used the maximum permissible 2 of my votes for it). I think I disagree with BobHarvery on the need to differentiate. My opinion is that 'normal view' should closely follow the Word model: we're already following (even mimicking) Word in so many other areas (e.g. 'Styles and Formatting') that differentiation for the sake of it seems a bit of a waste of time. This *is* a make/break issue for some folk, and a significant productivity and convenience issue for the rest of us, so what's the minimum acceptable spec. for this? For me, the key things to cut out are the page margins and page-gaps: everything else should be shown. Page breaks can be shown as a dotted line (as in Word). The rest of the content should be rendered normally. That would do as a minimal spec. Putting placeholders in place of diagrams or pictures would probably be a bad idea - people would be continually switching back to page layout view to see what the page would 'really' look like. Having the floating preview window is a nice idea, but I wonder about the runtime overhead of sync'ing this? Can a 'simple normal-view' which just cuts out the dead space be prototyped-up and put either into a separate download or put into the next build? Is this feature really so hard to do? What are the estimates from the developers? How do the priorities get fixed? --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
