Screen Views

Learning Word is really cool stuff. You can get all your reports done for class. You can import graphs and spreadsheets into those reports. There is just so much you can do. As you are creating your documents Word offers multiple ways to view your document.

1 - Normal

Use normal view for general-purpose typing, editing, formatting, and moving around in a document.

2 - Outline

To see the structure of a document, or to easily scroll through or move text around in a long document, use outline view.

4 - Master Document

If you want to divide a long document into separate files -- such as a book with several chapters -- use master document view.

To see only your document on the screen, without rulers, toolbars, or other screen elements, switch to full screen view.

You can also magnify or reduce what appears on the screen, and preview your document before you print it.
