Print layout

Updated: 09/10/2024 by Computer Hope

Print layout or Print view is the default view mode in a word processor like the recent versions of Microsoft Word. This mode shows how the document would appear when printed as it's being edited. This mode is enabled by default and is under the View section of Microsoft Word.

Note

This view mode should not be confused with print preview, which shows an overall preview of a document.

Tip

Use the keyboard shortcut Ctrl+Alt+P to switch to the print layout in Microsoft Word if it's not already enabled.
