I think it's really a matter of preference. I find draft mode much easier to use when proofreading any kind of book, including fiction and nonfiction, but that's just me. My preference is based on the way Word displays visual cues that are easier for me to pick up on when in draft mode than in any other mode. Those probably don't make any difference for someone who isn't sighted, but I can't say.
It does, by the way, show sections breaks, not just page breaks. Judy s. On 12/1/2014 2:14 PM, Kim Friedman wrote:
Thanks for telling me about it. I have never used draft view. Should I start using it for proofreading fiction or is it strictly for textbooks?

In draft view, some page elements do not appear, such as the boundaries between pages, headers and footers, backgrounds, and pictures that do not have text wrappWith Word 2007 and perhaps 2010 and 2013 enter Draft view by pressing alt plus control plus nI believe I read that print view may not show section breaks you'd want to change to page breaks.
