Apache OpenOffice (AOO) Bugzilla – Issue 78369
Normal View and/or hiding top + bottom margins, headers + footers
Last modified: 2007-06-13 12:06:12 UTC
There is no way to edit multi-page documents without the text being interrupted by top and bottom margins as well as headers and footers. I miss the "Normal View" of MS Word (or WordPerfect 5.1 for that matter) very badly. I also cannot hide the margins in the main view (Print layout). The Online View is no solution either. Being a professional writer -- not in English! -- the page layout of my copy is not very important to me. The layout in the magazine, brochure or website is. The margin interruptions in the story I am writing, are very annoying. They are the only reason I am about to switch back to MS Word.
