Options
Your screen can be viewed in
a number of ways.
Page layout view enables you
to see round the edges of your paper set the Zoom at Page Width.
Normal view fills the screen
with your page page breaks show as continuous dotted lines.
Use the buttons at bottom
left of screen, or the View menu from the toolbar.
To see all tab movements,
returns and other commands click on the Paragraph Mark on your toolbar (looks
like a backwards P, sited next to Zoom).
Looks very messy to work with but is useful if your tabs seem to be
going astray.
