I agree that this feature is useful - as is the whole idea of a "Normal" view (I prefer to call it "Draft View" (as it removes a lot of formatting and offers some kind of "text editor" editing style) or "Scroll View" (as it basically converts the document into an "continuous form paper" that can be viewed by scrolling through it). We have an RFE with quite some votes for this kind of view and something comparable to what you suggested surely should be part of it. Unfortunately until now we didn't find the time to work on this view implementation. Currently I have at least started to collect information, ideas, concepts etc. for the various kinds of view enhancement requests we have got over time. Let's see what comes out and how the effort estimations will look. For further reference please watch issue #4914.
