Earlier explanations of this have made this much more complex than it needs to 
be.

This does not need to try and be a book layout feature, but simply "show pages
horizontally if the window has enough pixels".

With high-resolution screens and widescreen laptops/displays commonplace, it is
expected to be able to place pages side by side ... and not just 2, but 3 or 
more.

Please see the two attachments with filenames:

msword-two-page.png
msword-three-page.png

These show the simple implementation from Microsoft dating back several years
that works very simply and very well.

The basic logic is:

   IF page1.width+page2.width < window.width THEN show 2 pages

Of course ... this expands out to a slightly more flexible feature by
calculating how many pages it should show through something akin to:

   window.width / page.width == number of pages to show

The page.width adjusts depending on my zoom setting, and automatically shows
that number of pages.

It doesn't try to do anything with odd/even, title pages, etc ... just shows me
X number of pages horizontally according to my window size and zoom setting.



What is needed to encourage this being implemented?
