Document Views

Quick reference

• 00:05 We need to really discuss the Print Layout views and the Page views.
• 00:08 They're on the View ribbon, way over here on the left hand side, Reading Mode,
• 00:12 Print Layout, Web Layout, Outline and Draft, they all have a specific purpose.
• 00:16 And it just boils down to your personal preference.
• 00:19 I'm gonna draw your attention to the bottom of the page, and also have three
• 00:22 buttons, Reading Mode, Print Layout, and Web Layout down there, as well.
• 00:26 And I do have my navigation pane on when I'm working in these views,
• 00:29 because the navigation pane will help you keep your sanity as these screens change.
• 00:34 Now, certain things are going to appear and disappear on the main screen, but
• 00:38 they will always stay on the navigation pane.
• 00:41 That's why it gets confusing, so let's go ahead and go to Reading Mode first.
• 00:46 This is Microsoft's idea of making a document,
• 00:49 read like a book by scrolling to the right, to the right, or to the left,
• 00:52 to the left, as you would turn pages in a book.
• 00:54 It's a personal preference, I don't necessarily like that.
• 00:57 So I'm going to go back to my View ribbon, and
• 00:59 I'm going to go back to my, I guess, I'm gonna come down here to the bottom and
• 01:04 hit the Print Layout button to bring me back to my normal view.
• 01:07 Now, Print Layout, of course, is the default, and
• 01:10 this is so, if I wanna read a document, I scroll, scroll, scroll, scroll down, okay?
• 01:15 And that's fine, scroll up or down, I'm very accustom to that, I'd like that.
• 01:18 Now, everything's gonna get a little scrambled.
• 01:21 I'm gonna hit Web Layout.
• 01:22 Now, please note, my titles here on various documents and
• 01:26 reading mode are set.
• 01:27 And my little Pictures are in here, as well, that's about to get scrambled.
• 01:31 When I hit Web Layout, look what happened on the screen in front of me.
• 01:34 Now, notice, the navigation pane still looks like it did normally.
• 01:38 But because I went to Web Layout, it's giving me a reflection, and
• 01:41 if I uploaded this to the web right now, this is how it would look.
• 01:44 Obviously, I have some work to do.
• 01:46 Now, I'm not here to design a webpage, so I'm not gonna spend time on this.
• 01:50 I just want you to know,
• 01:50 if you were wondering, how will this look on the Internet?
• 01:53 Just hit Web Layout, and you'll see what it's going to look like.
• 01:57 All right, next one's going to be outline, and all the pictures are about to vanish.
• 02:01 Click on Outline, there.
• 02:04 Now, this is if you have to rearrange the documents, okay?
• 02:06 So I'm gonna grab this reading mode, which has a style on it, and I'm gonna click and
• 02:10 drag that, and
• 02:11 notice the guideline following me up above various document views.
• 02:14 Now, remember, there is a page break down there on page two.
• 02:18 So I just rearranged, I put reading mode up above, and then,
• 02:20 various documents landed below, and on my page my navigation pane over here on
• 02:25 the left hand side, sure enough, page two, various documents.
• 02:28 So even though I can't see the page break in there, it absolutely did rearrange it.
• 02:33 So I'm gonna pull that various documents up here.
• 02:36 It's called Outline Mode, so you can click and drag the pieces and
• 02:39 portions around without getting encumbered with page breaks, and pictures, and
• 02:44 all that kind of stuff.
• 02:45 Everything underneath that heading will follow it as you click and
• 02:48 drag these plus signs around.
• 02:50 All right, I'm gonna close my Outline View right here,
• 02:54 the last one on the View ribbon was Draft mode.
• 02:57 Now, when you're in Draft mode, basically, all my photos vanish on my screen,
• 03:01 they still do reside over on the left hand side in navigation pane.
• 03:04 But on my screen, they're not there, neither of the margins, or
• 03:07 the page rates, nothing is there.
• 03:08 It just gonna all slams it together, so again,
• 03:11 you're in Draft mode, you don't want to deal with pictures, just wanna deal with text.
• 03:14 So that's the assisting there, so the lesson is,
• 03:17 Print Layout is my personal favorite.
• 03:19 You will come up with your own personal favorite, but they all do have a purpose.
• 03:23 You just need to practice with them, and when the time comes to change your view,
• 03:27 you'll work through those again, and figure out which one is delivering you
• 03:32 the message, or the help that you need at that time.
