Reading Layout View

[Pat Garard]

I sometimes prepare technical manuals (to be duplex printed) where it is
convenient to display screenshots on one (usually even/left) page and the
text referring to them on the opposite (usually odd/right) page.

It would be very convenient if Reading Layout View (when "Actual Page" is
selected)
could display odd pages on the right and even pages on the left so that the
manual could be read as the end user will eventually see it.

(Perhaps two-page Print Preview might be a similar benefit as well.)

What do others think?

Hi Pat

I sometimes prepare technical manuals (to be duplex printed) where it is
convenient to display screenshots on one (usually even/left) page and the
text referring to them on the opposite (usually odd/right) page.

It would be very convenient if Reading Layout View (when "Actual Page" is
selected)
could display odd pages on the right and even pages on the left so that the
manual could be read as the end user will eventually see it.

(Perhaps two-page Print Preview might be a similar benefit as well.)

That's there already, in PrintPreview: make sure you set your zoom so
that two pages fit, and then, the order should be correct left/right.

I use that for final pagination work for all duplex documents as well
(even though I usually don't insert screenshots so that they fill the
entire page, and hence are not forced to set them left exclusively)

G'day Pat

Print Preview shows pages with the odd on the right and even on the left if
you set Mirror Margins at File > Page Setup > Margins.

I've always thought Reading Layout was a solution to a problem that didn't
exist.

Seems the NGs were down last night and my post didn't make it through. I
pointed out that Print Preview will show facing faces if you enable *either*
"Mirror margins" or "Different odd and even" headers/footers.
