draft view

About this tag
The draft view in Microsoft Word is a document layout option that simplifies editing by hiding complex formatting elements like headers, footers, and page margins. It is particularly useful for troubleshooting layout issues, such as unwanted blank pages or section breaks. Users often switch to draft view to see and manipulate section breaks, paragraph marks, and other hidden formatting marks that cause problems in Print Layout view. In this view, you can easily select and delete problematic section breaks or paragraph marks that refuse to be removed in other views.
