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.
