Hints and Tips Index

Reading Layout View is the default (automatic) view used in Word 2003 when you open a Word document as an Email attachment. This month's hints and tips looks at using this View.

Reading Layout View

If you are opening a document primarily to read it, reading layout view makes it easier to read. Reading layout view hides all toolbars except for the Reading Layout and Reviewing toolbars and the zoom of the page is optimised so that the document is easy to read on the screen.

 
 
 
 

Pages represented in reading layout view are designed to fit well on your screen; they do not represent the pages you would see if you were to print the document. If you want to view the document as it would appear on the printed page, without switching to Print Layout View click the Actual Page button on the Reading Layout toolbar.

When you want to stop reading the document, you can switch from reading layout view by clicking the Close button on the Reading Layout toolbar

Switching the Reading Layout view off for Outlook attachments

 

Reading Layout View is the default view used in Word 2003 when you open a Word document as an Email attachment.
