Though I appreciate the efforts to help the viewer of documents out with the
“Reading Layout†view, with graphics and table intensive word documents, the
Reading layout view is seriously flawed. It does not scale the images
appropriately, and since the font size is maintained with the original (which
I presume is to facilitate the reading) the spacing of the document screws
up. I understand the desire to make this a default setting, especially for
Read-Only documents, but I just don't think this feature provides any
significant benefit thus far.
One could argue that it would simply take a couple of clicks on go back to
“Print Layout†or “Normalâ€, but for those who may not be aware of such
things—if they were to open a graphics/table intensive document in Reading
Layout they would pass judgment on the unprofessionalism of how the document
looks, even though it may look fine in “Normal†or “Print Layout†views. I
think if the “Reading Layout†is really able to provide use in word needs to
figure out to appropriately scale:
1) tables
2) fonts (though I'm not sure there is any way around that)
3) Landscape vs. letter page settings
4) Graphics
Thanks.
