------- Additional comments from [EMAIL PROTECTED] Mon Aug 20 21:19:08 +0000 2007 ------- For our purposes a large part of the value/importance of this feature was *specifically* in having pages side-by-side. You can already zoom way out on the main editing window and get a single line of pages one-above-the-other that you can still edit. What makes the MS Word approach nicer is that you can see other pages side-by-side and thus maintain a consistent visual formatting page- to-page (align elements on one page to line up with others on an adjacent/ subsequent page). This becomes important for some people's work, though understandably many do not care about this. So it seems like the simplest approach would be to just allow the option of having pages side-by-side *when zoomed out in the normal edit view*. Word allows this, in addition to its "editing in print preview" functionality. You just zoom out to a certain distance and pages start appearing side-by-side. Word can actually display up to 10 pages side-by-side (and as many vertically as necessary), and they remain editable. This is what we would like to see in Writer as well. --------------------------------------------------------------------- Please do not reply to this automatically generated notification from Issue Tracker.
