*cough* I dont know if that is a feature. I would assume 99% of our user base to be confused by 'Page Preview' and 'Print Preview' showing different things rather than considering it a feature. > 2. The 'Page Preview' mode has a zoom and a full screen mode. Well, couldnt those be added in the Print Preview too? > 3.

As Kohei suggest further down this is actually implemented in a buggy/incomplete way and I find "I will go in the page preview to change margins (even though it does not use the real paper size, but the one from the page style)" not really a usecase justifying a whole different view. So in total, I still like Astrons crazy idea. Just my 2 cents.
