Print layout view
In Print layout view, you can see how text, graphics, and other elements of your document will be positioned on the printed page. This view is useful for editing headers and footers, for adjusting margins, and for working with columns and drawing objects.
To switch to print layout view, click View> Print Layout on the menu bar.
Web layout view
In Web layout view, you can see a Web page or a document that you are creating, its background, if text is wrapped to fit the window, if graphics are positioned just as they are in a Web browser, etc.
To switch to Web layout view, click View > Web Layout on the menu bar.
Normal view
Normal view is ideal for typing, editing, and formatting text. It shows text formatting but simplifies the layout of the page so that you can type and edit quickly. In this view, page boundaries, headers and footers, backgrounds, drawing objects, and pictures that do not have the In line with text wrapping style do not appear.
To switch to normal view, click View > Normal on the menu bar.
Outline view
In Outline view, you can look at the structure of a document and move, copy, and reorganize text by dragging headings. Here, you can collapse a document to see only the main headings, or you can expand it to see all headings and even body text.
This view also makes it easy to work with master documents. (A master document makes it easier to organize and maintain a long document, such as a multipart report or a book with chapters.) In Outline view, page boundaries, headers and footers, graphics, and backgrounds do not appear.
To switch to outline view, click View > Outline on the menu bar.
Web page preview
In Web page preview, you can see how your document will look in a Web browser. Microsoft Word saves a copy of your document and then opens it in your default browser. If your Web browser is not already running, Word starts it automatically. You can return to your document in Word at any time.
To switch to Web page preview, click File > Web Page Preview on the menu bar.
Print preview
In print preview, you can display multiple pages of a document in a reduced size. In this view, you can see page breaks, hidden text, and watermarks, and you can make editing or formatting changes before you print the document.
To switch to Print preview, click the Print Preview button on the Standard toolbar.
