View options

Two pages of options set the defaults for viewing Writer documents: View and Formatting Aids (described on page 33).

Choose OpenOffice.org Writer > View on the Options dialog box (Figure 32).

If the items on this page are not self-explanatory, you can easily test their effects in a blank document.

This is a good page to check if, for example, you cannot see graphics on the screen or you see field codes instead of the text or numbers you are expecting.
