Bug ID: 146380
Summary: (Enhancement) More View Options
Product: LibreOffice
Version: 7.2.3.2 release
Hardware: All
OS: All
Status: UNCONFIRMED
Severity: normal
Priority: medium
Component: Writer
Assignee: [email protected]

LibreOffice Writer has 2 view options:
1. Normal View and
2. Web View
In my experience, normal view has the following problems:
1. The top and botten margins each take an inordinate amount of space, making
it hard to cross-check a list which goes over the edge.
2. The top of a standard letter-sized page doesn't fit on the screen at the
same time as the bottom. Even using a giant 22" monitor, if I zoom standard
9-pt text to 200% to read it. This can make it hard to cross-check the text and
the footnotes. One workaround is to change the paper size...
And web view has the following problems:
1. Text gets shoved against the left edge of the window, making it much harder
to read, and making attempts to scroll into migaine triggers.
2. Footnotes get converted into endnotes. This will make it impossible to
cross-check the text and the footnotes.
I think alternative view options would be useful, such as
1. keeping side margins, but hiding top and bottom margins.
2. splitting pages to bring footnotes into view.
