SYMPTOMS

When you switch between views, the following view options may change their current settings:

  • Horizontal Scroll Bar
  • Wrap to Window


CAUSE

The Horizontal Scroll Bar and Wrap To Window settings in online layout view are independent of the same settings in normal, page layout, outline and master document views.

MORE INFORMATION

This behavior is by design. Online layout view optimizes the layout of your document to make it easier to read online. The text appears larger than it would be printed, and also wraps to fit the window. To switch to online layout view, click Online Layout on the View menu.

Horizontal Scroll Bar

The horizontal scroll bar option is turned off by default because Word automatically sizes the document to optimize the amount of text shown with the Document Map. When you turn this option on, it has no effect on the appearance of the document.

Wrap to Window

The Wrap to Window option is turned off by default because the width of the text is automatically sized based on the width of the document window in online layout view. When you turn this option on, your document may appear slightly different because the space around the document is hidden.

What View Options Are Available?

The following table shows the view options that are available in each view, and which options stay the same when you switch between views.

Legend:

A = This option is available in this view.
S = This option stays the same between views.
