It seems my example on the bottom of the previous message got a bit skewed.
The example on this page: http://www.havarnielsen.com/writer.jpg
(100kbytes) illustrates what I am talking about much better.

Hi,
I'm not a developer on the openoffice project, and I probably won't
have the time to become one, so this is mainly just a feature request
for writer.
The market for widescreen displays both for laptops and desktop
computers is increasing. These usually have a rather high resolution.
My display has 1920x1200 pixels. This opens the possibility for
viewing two full pages side by side in writer.
Both word and writer normally displays pages, one under another with
no possibility for utilizing the high horizontal resolution of todays
widescreen displays.
This is an example of how I would like writer to behave on these
displays:

Each of these squares of |s and -s represents an A4 page.
Thanks for the attention and for the great project that openoffice is.
