VIEW LAYOUT
 
Procedures: <Using Layout View>
 
Use the View Layout command to see how objects are
positioned on the page and to display multiple
columns on the screen.
 
■ In layout view, each paragraph is an object
  contained within an invisible frame that Word
  uses for spacing and positioning.
 
■ Layout view gives you an idea of how text and
  graphic frames look together on the screen and
  allows you to edit what you see. For example,
  you can see how multiple columns look or how
  text wraps around a frame centered on the page.
 
■ Some operations (such as repagination and
  scrolling) may be slower in layout view.
