why do we use print preview modes?

It was news to me as well. But text boundaries are not displayed in Print
Preview even when the Magnifier is turned off, and I don't see any way to
display them (the View tab of Tools | Options is disabled in this view).
Interestingly, ISTR that in some earlier versions there was something like
text boundaries in PP that allowed you to change the margins in that view
(perhaps before you could do this with the rulers in Print Layout view).

Okay, I just checked my Word 2.0 for Windows manual, and I was remembering
wrong. It was just that you could change the margins using the rulers in PP
(but you could also do this in Page Layout view). And the manual clearly
states that you can edit in PP by turning off the magnifier. I never saw any
reason to do this, but I've always known it was possible.
